Irene Henderson He didn’t want to break his record without his pub partner after the man died aged 62. So she didn’t hesitate and took the man’s ashes to have a last drink together.
The 54-year-old Briton and her boyfriend Adrian Barrattwith whom he had been dating for 12 years, he shared a passion: drinking in Wetherspoon pubs (also known in England and Ireland as Spoons). So much so that they kept track of how many times they shared drinks with them.
After reaching the milestone of drinking for the 1,000th time at Spoons, Barratt suffered a complicated illness and couldn’t continue to do so, so before he died he apologized to his girlfriend and she made him a promise: “Ade apologized just before he died saying he was sorry he wasn’t with me to do my number 1001. To cheer him up I told him I would take it and do my last Ade at the bar“.
The Cheshire, England native added in dialogue with the Daily Star: “He laughed even though it was a difficult time. So I kept my word.” And so he did: On 11 February Irene drank her 1001st drink in a Wetherspoons pub accompanied by the ashes of her old adventure companion.
The headquarters was that of the Wetherspoons London and the North Weston Birmingham New Street. As a curious fact, it is worth noting that just when she appeared with the ashes of “Hades”, a boy was celebrating her 500 Spoons of her.
Irene and ‘Ade’ were such fans of the pub that organized Adrian’s wake at a Spoons location.
