Wetherspoons&#8217; head of property development Jon Randall has previously said the chain &#8216;places particular emphasis on the design&#8217; of its pubs &#8211; with its carpets often reflecting a venue\u2019s past history or local roots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Adding to the thought-process, a Wetherspoons spokesperson told the M.E.N this week: &#8220;When founder and chairman Tim Martin created Wetherspoon in 1979, he wanted every pub to have its own atmosphere, including local art, photographs and an original, bespoke carpet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">But, do you know your Sedge Lynn carpet from the one shown off at Moon Under Water? Well, of course, there is only one real way to find out &#8211; and that\u2019s by testing you on this exact subject.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">We\u2019ve put together a list which will test you on the very same carpets on display at some of the popular Greater Manchester pubs operated by Wetherspoons. But only the biggest fans will be able to score full marks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Give it a go above, and let us know how well you do.
