Compo 10,328 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 About a month or so ago (I think it was mid-late October) someone posted a message about Wetherspoons pubs in Inverness, Wick and Elgin. I can't find that post so can anyone help point me in the right direction, please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I do recall it Compo..pubs closing down?/eating out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 ARGH! I thought I had posted this in Owt about Nowt. Can an admin please redirect it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Done I've had a look for the post and I can't find it either, which has me baffled. I split off several posts from another thread about pubs, and created a new thread called "Wetherspoons Pubs"....which seems to have disappeared. If I eventually find anything, I'll report back.

carni 10,094 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Sorry if this suggestion has already been checked for the missing post, but you could try in " My Activity Streams" underneath browse. Hover over Activity for the option to appear.Ya never know yer luck? Sorry, if you hadn't added a post it won't be under that option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 It does happen I had a few photos disappear off the site a few weeks ago, thought I was loosing it was well happy when Cliff Ton confirmed he had seen the photos? I do remember the wick spoons post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Thanks to Cliff Ton and Carni. I have tried all I can think of Carni but to no avail. Thank you Cliff Ton for the redirection and I look forward to you finding the missing articles. Ian Dawson: It was someone who mentioned three Wetherspoons pubs that they liked in the north. One was in Inverness, one in Elgin and one here in my town of Wick. I know it was posted during October because I replied that I would be visiting the Elgin pub for my birthday on Nov 1st; although I eventually made it on the 3rd. Other than that I have no recollection of the thread title or poster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Don't know if what I'm going to suggest is the same thing Carni suggested. If I click on my name so my profile comes up, it shows a full page of recent activities. But there is stops. If I click on the right side, top, it says See my activity, and you then get page numbers along the bottom. Keep going back till you find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 The only good thing about the new format is the Search feature, and I still can't find the thread in question. I've used it in every variation I know, by searching Threads, Titles, Members, Keywords, and Dates. And the Wetherspoon's thread I created doesn't register anywhere. I did it no more than a couple of months ago, so there isn't too much to trawl back through, but there's no sign of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I definitely remember seeing it too, but as you know, I personally find the search feature very hit and miss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 It proves it existed (which no-one doubted) but it doesn't explain why or how or when it disappeared. RR, what method did you use to get the cached version from a month ago ? And in that case, can you make your Triumph Road photos re-appear ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 It was indeed your good self nnsc. Radfordred found the thread for me. I was asking because I was in The Alexander Bain in Wick the other morning and took this photo of the frontage. I thought you might like a reminder just noticed that it is out of focus....drat!

nnsc 131 Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Remember it well, hoping to do the one in Penzance next weekend. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,696 Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 The Penzance one isn't the greatest , bit dark and gloomy in there . Usually noisy with the regular boozers close to the bar area . Spoons in St. Ives is better IMO , usually quiet this time of year . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 #13 I wonder if it's when posts/treads are chopped/moved/deleted/mucked about with that make them disappear? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Unlikely. I've split and moved a number of threads over the years and none of them have subsequently disappeared. And the Wetherspoons's thread existed for several days / weeks after I'd split it, before it disappeared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 There are two 'Spoons' in Paignton. One by the sea front on the main holiday shopping street and another away from the holiday crowds at the back of the town centre. I can't recall their names but the one at the back of the town is not a bad pub. It's much quieter and more civilised than the sea front one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
