'Superfan' travels from Preston to mark Wetherspoon opening

Peter visited his 384th Wetherspoons today (14 May)

A 'Wetherspoons superfan' was among those who queued outside the new 'Conister Arms' branch in Douglas today (14 May). 

Peter Iddon and his daughter Janet Wignall visit as many branches in the UK as they can - with today's visit marking 384 for Peter.

The building was officially opened by outgoing Mayor Natalie Byron-Teare at 8am. 

Over 80 people were employed by the company with a further 35 being sought ahead of TT.
