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 Humphrey Bean - Tonbridge
Visited 19th August 2011. Something a bit different today. I've been working out of the office. Amazingly there is a Wetherspoons, sort of on the way home and as I worked through lunch it seemed only fair to pay it a visit. The Humphrey Bean, from the inside is a large barn like structure, very airy. It was pretty busy but mainly with an older crowd, at least while I was in there. I picked a table that was sat on a small, raised platform positioned along the left hand wall. At the bar I took advantage of the current deal and ordered the Gammon steak with eggs and a large Pepsi for which I had to pay an extra forty pence, I'm not sure why it was so much more - a recent price increase I was told... The meal arrived but was a bit sorry looking as the eggs had been overcooked and I found some shell in one of them. Sadly nobody came to check if I was happy with the meal. Even more sadly I was in to much of a rush to get home to complain (as anyone that knows me will tell you, this is very unusual). I will vote with my feet and not return!
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.
