Wetherspoon warns again on costs as sales rise 3.5 percent
Chairman Tim Martin, a well-known supporter of Britain's planned departure from the European Union, also said he was sure the country should leave the EU customs union post-Brexit in aid of reducing taxes on non-EU food and drink imports. Like other operators in the British pub sector, Wetherspoon has been hit by increased costs, mainly due to wage inflation, rising property costs and unfavourable currency exchange rates. Wetherspoon's prices undercut many of its peers and it has leveraged technology with a mobile application that allows customers to order drinks from their table rather than having to go to the bar to help draw customers at a time when non-essential spending by Britons has been squeezed.

Wetherspoons says later May bank holiday held back sales growth
Pub operator JD Wetherspoon reported a 3.5 percent increase in third-quarter comparable sales on Wednesday, a touch slower than the 4 percent growth seen a year ago due to this year's later May bank holiday. Last year's figures for the same quarter included the bank holiday and likely provided a roughly 0.5 percent boost to sales, the company said.

Brexit-Loving Pub Landlord Is Chucking Out the Internet
Its boss, Tim Martin, says the move is about setting an example to people addicted to Twitter, Instagram and Facebook who "struggle" to kick the habit. While there's merit to the idea of corporations pruning their online presence, Martin isn't an obvious standard-bearer for civil discourse or careful communication. He's unlikely to get many corporate followers.

McDonald's says it's the final straw as cuts down on plastic
McDonald's on Wednesday became the latest big company in Britain to say it was the last straw for plastic - with plans to start using drinking straws made from paper. The move comes after estimates that 8.5 billion straws are used in Britain every year – or more than 23 million a day – which is contributing to the death of marine animals, according to the Marine Conservation Society. The fast-food giant joins a list of nightclubs and restaurant venues - including Pizza Express, pub chain Wetherspoons, and supermarket Waitrose - which have pledged to dump plastic straws for bio-degradable alternatives.

UK pub firm JD Wetherspoon posts strong Christmas sales
"We face significant costs in the second half in areas which include labour, business rates and the sugar tax. Wetherspoon, like other operators in the sector, has been battling rising costs due to the government's National Living Wage initiative, higher property prices and unfavourable currency exchange rate. JD Wetherspoon's performance contrasts to that of Marston's (MARS.L), which on Tuesday said business in the Christmas period was marred by snowy and icy weather.
