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 Green Man - City of London - London
Visited 11th June 2011. Some friends of ours have invited us to a BBQ. As they live in London we thought we would take the opportunity to visit a few 'spoons (as if we really need an excuse). We made our way into the heart of the city looking for 'The Green Man', the first on our list. It proved to be a bit tricky to find and although we knew we were in the right area it was definitely proving elusive. We had just reached the point of giving the pub a ring when I spotted a closed shopping entrance and beyond the entrance a sign that mentioned Wetherspoons. By now we must have looked very confused as a security guard who had been watching us took pity and came over and told us where the open entrance was. We followed his brief directions and found the door, took a few photos and entered. At first glance we thought we were in the smallest 'spoons we had ever visited. We went exploring and found some downward stairs and a another much larger room. Back upstairs to the bar where I ordered a pint of Daleside Nightjar and Mrs S opting for a large latte. We decided not to have breakfast yet and to wait for the next pub which we knew wasn't to far away. And we're walking...
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.
