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 Mary Shelley - Bournemouth
Visited 14th February 2010.
An easy walk from The Moon in the Square takes us to The Mary Shelley, a large pub where we sit and plan our next move. We actually remember to get our coffee card stamped this time. The pub is nice and the toilets are very nice. (Whenever we go anywhere our children always have a burning desire to check out the toilets and this has kind of rubbed off onto us). Plans are formulated and we exit the pub where we meet a guy who cannot resist a few quips regarding our hats and the high visibility they provide. We wander through the lantern lit gardens to the beach where it turns out to be dark and cold (but at least it's not raining) and the paddle that had seemed a good idea in the pub was quickly put on the back-burner for another (warmer) day. We have enjoyed our day in Bournemouth but all good things etc and now it's time to go home. We know we haven't been to all of the Wetherspoon pubs in the area so we will be returning in the summer... and we'll definitely be having that paddle!
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.
