Pub operator J D Wetherspoon is celebrating Brexit by reducing the price of ten drinks from Friday January 31.
Its ‘Let’s stay friends’ offer will give customers approximately 60p off drinks which originate in a range of European countries.
These include those in the EU; Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Holland and Ireland, as well as from across the UK.
The promotion will run until February 29 across all of the company’s 870 pubs in the UK.

Is this anything other than a bribe to customers to pretend that something good has come from Brexit and somehow made drinks cheaper when nothing has changed as yet, and avoiding increased costs will depend on agreeing a favourable FTA before the end of the year?
This must be lost profit for Weatherspoons, but like any other promotion they will hope it stimulates trade for the month.
