Man gets into massive argument with @WetherspoonsUK over his Spoon's wifi use
A man who was experiencing problems with the WIFI at a Wetherspoons in Devonshire has gotten into a massive argument with @WetherspoonsUK about the kinds of sites he was trying to access.
Before long, an MP offered to intervene.
Read the full (hilarious) twitter thread below.
@WetherspoonsUK what's up with your WiFi at Skipton Devonshire? Won't render webpages, keeps forcing terms of use. Please fix.

Hi @loudhawhaw I've spoken to the branch manager and he tells me he has it on child safety mode so it won't load your 18+ sites. Tom

@WetherspoonsUK Well speak to him again, it was the BBCNEWS I was loading! #agitprop

We have @loudhawhaw and he assures us that it only blocks adult sites, we won't judge you by what you're into just not in our pubs. Tom

At this point it got a little heated. Anyone who doesn't like to see the word "shit" we advise you look away now.
@WetherspoonsUK You little shit! The inference u have just made is libelous. Does Martin train you to be despicable to your regular clients?

@WetherspoonsUK Make sure you deliver an apology RIGHT NOW or you will get a writ in the next few days.
— Loudhawhaw (@loudhawhaw) November 19, 2016
@WetherspoonsUK Let me have the receiving address of the JDW solicitors straight away. If you refuse it will make matters worse for you.

@WetherspoonsUK Your (Tom's) libelous tweet has now been retweeted 6 times. That's six cases of libel for me to pursue. Retract immediately!
— Loudhawhaw (@loudhawhaw) November 19, 2016
Good morning @loudhawhaw I only stated a FACT the wifi is set to block 18+ sites only, so you need to do it elsewhere. Tom
— JD WETHERSP00N (@WetherspoonsUK) November 19, 2016
@WetherspoonsUK You have AGAIN repeated the libel. You are going to lose your job over this unless you get legal advice quick.
— Loudhawhaw (@loudhawhaw) November 19, 2016
No need @loudhawhaw I work side by side with our legal time and I'm advised we are within our rights to block these sites you like. Tom
— JD WETHERSP00N (@WetherspoonsUK) November 19, 2016
@WetherspoonsUK The only fault in that reasoning is that I DIDN'T USE ANY PORN SITES & you have NO evidence otherwise. Retract now!
— Loudhawhaw (@loudhawhaw) November 19, 2016
Porn? @loudhawhaw I never once said porn I said 18+ which includes betting and such like! Now who is being libelous? Tom
— JD WETHERSP00N (@WetherspoonsUK) November 19, 2016
@WetherspoonsUK Oh yes you did, the inference was clear. Backing out now? Tell all the tweeters you were wrong. Admit it!
— Loudhawhaw (@loudhawhaw) November 19, 2016
No @loudhawhaw I was not wrong, the wifi DOES restrict adult sites it's you that jumped to the 'porn' conclusion. Tom
— JD WETHERSP00N (@WetherspoonsUK) November 19, 2016
At this point an MP jumped in...
@WetherspoonsUK would you like any questions raised in parliament, @loudhawhaw ? We won't judge you for your 18+ interests
— John Woodcock (@JWoodcockMP) November 19, 2016
And sh*t got real...
Hi @loudhawhaw you have been randomly selected to take part in a short #SpoonsCustomerService survey, please reply YES if interested.

Probably sensing they should fess up now that an MP was involved, WetherpspoonsUK revealed to the guy, who still wasn't getting it, that they are a parody account, trolling him for fun.
Well @loudhawhaw you certainly did bring your piss to a simmer over a parody account didn't you. 😂😂#SpoonsCustomerService pic.twitter.com/lcpgyBS7xb

Most people who realised this found it amusing.
Although not everyone realised that it was fake.
