Basically this is a diary of the various Wetherspoon and Lloyds bars I visit and any adventures on the way, with maybe a few words about life as we know it thrown in for good measure.

The Bear - Maidenhead
Visited 25th February 2010.
Mr and Mrs Sinner were lucky enough to get two tickets for the pre-opening training session at the The Bear which officially opens tomorrow. What can I say? We had a great time (free food and beer - what's not to like). I had several long chats with various people about what renovations had been done on this listed building and how much had been spent. What was still to be done and learnt that The Bear was the 750th Wetherspoon to be opened. It looked good inside and the new staff did a very good job cooking and serving the food. Special thanks to Kelly (Kellie?) the barmaid with her great cheery smile. We'll be going back to this one to see if they manage to keep up the very high standard they set themselves.
Determined. If it involves a beer. This has led me to commit myself to a "Quest" to visit and have at least one drink or meal in each Wetherspoons pub in the UK. I have set myself no time limit, in fact I have not set myself any rules other than the most basic.
Never drink before noon,
(it's always after noon somewhere), when in doubt turn left and never run with scissors.
