I’m not really sure of the public perception of Tim Martin – I suppose he’s cool because he’s created really cheap pubs for us to get drunk in, but there are some questionable business practices going on relating to how he chooses to (not) pay his workers – but his latest comments should get a few lolz out of most of the population.

Martin was speaking to My London when he said that he saw the Queen’s recent move from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle as the perfect opportunity for him to convert the palace into one of his pubs. Here’s what he had to say:

The Queen’s moved out early. Perfect opportunity for Timbo.

I wouldn’t even insist on taking over the whole of Buckingham Palace, I’d just take a section and a bit of garden.

The Royal Family could earn a bit of income and I could feature in the Trooping the Colour.

Don’t worry, we’ll keep all the features intact and the Queen is welcome to pop back whenever she wants a drink.

I heard on the grapevine that she likes the sherbert.

Yeah I’m not really sure if he’s being serious there or just joking around to get a headline, but the thing is it probably does kinda make a bit of sense? Can you imagine how many morons would actually go to a Wetherspoons at Buckingham Palace simply because it was a Wetherspoons in Buckingham Palace? Major money spinner.

Not sure what’s in it for the royal family as it’s not like they need the money, but I guess it might make people like them a bit more? What’s the worst that could happen?

For more of the same, check out when a man on a stag do bit off a pigeon’s head outside Wetherspoons. Maybe we’ll see that at Buckingham Palace soon?
