A bit council Vol 2
Discussion
I've always assumed its because people have generally traveled to the airport, parked up, got the park and ride, checked in etc etc and so have been up 3 or 4 hours by the time they're in the bar area.
Not really much different to having a lunchtime pint on a Saturday or Sunday after you've got up at 8 or 9.
if you've been up 3 or 4 hours then it doesn't really matter what time of day it is, you're up and you're wide awake.
And fancy a pint because you're off on holiday

Ah! Answer me this!Why do people queue up at airport bars, and not treat them as a pub bar? Does my bloody head in. Yet something else to hate about airports.
However, I think it is an environmental thing, its like peoples brains load their pub routine which is different to the airport routine and overrides the pub one, you know at airports you are going to have to queue, check in, passport control and at the gate, with incidental queues for WHSmith for the book you will probably not read, an overpriced bottle of water and a car magazine.
You can pitch up at the bar, but if there is a queue, being British we feel compelled to join it, especially in the regimented atmosphere of a busy airport, people know that if they cause any bother, they might not be going anywhere !

It's not just airports, some pals and I met early recently on our motorcycles in Banbury for breakfast in Weatherspoons and I was shocked to how many people were in there drinking pints at 8.00am in the morning.
I hate to break it to you, but Weatherspoons is council so the outcome was inevitable ;-)I'm a fan of Spoons as it does what it says on the tin for a reasonable price, so therefore I'm council.
Please note there is a time when an alcoholic drink becomes acceptable and it's not 9.30am on a Saturday.
I was in there getting a cheap and dirty breakfast (with tea) and people had empty pint glasses on their tables, one woman had a dirty great glass of white accompanied by a bottle. Jeez it was unreal.
Spoke to the girl behind the bar and she said that people bang on the doors for them to open up at 8am!!!

I managed to get so free tickets to the Goodwood Festival of Speed moving day. We turn up to Croydon station at 9am on Thursday to get the train down to Chichester only for the lady to tell us that if we travel after 10am its 2for1 on tickets. Im like sod that lets just go now, no we end up in a Whetherspoons for a pint (I had a coke) Please note there is a time when an alcoholic drink becomes acceptable and it's not 9.30am on a Saturday.

Using a bottle to pee in, as you are too lazy to walk to the toilet.
