They then met up occasionally for dinner at The Sir Nigel Gresley, in Swadlincote, Derbyshire. He then popped the question to Lynda in that Wetherspoons and she said yes. Both are huge Spoons fans, with Adrian’s favourite tipple being a Ruddles Best and Lynda’s a glass of Chardonnay. Adrian, of Norwich, said: “At our age, neither of us wanted to waste any time. “Wetherspoon has been a big part of our life and now it’s part of our story.” Rob Winterton, manager of The Sir Nigel Gresley said: “It’s a great story and they make a lovely couple. “Everyone here wishes them all the best for a happy future.” ENDS
