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 Berkeley - Bristol
Visited 1st April 2012.
Once again we trusted our luck to Google and once again it failed us miserably. We eventually ended up doubling back on ourselves before being pointed in the direction of a steep hill. The pub was at the top but luckily (for some) there was a "must visit" shop about half way up where we paused for a break. A little more retail therapy obviously did the trick as the girls were happy to do a little modeling before our next drink. By now we were starting to wimp out a little and breakfast was starting to wear off. Two small Pepsis, one large, a bag of monster munch and two bags of crisps seemed to do the trick while we sat and eased our aching feet. It was quite dark inside and on first impressions seemed like quite a small place but there was a surprise for us as we took a look around. Not obvious from the entrance was the ceiling piece, our second of the day. The staff were very helpful and also brought us a small pudding to try - "new on the menu", they said. Having been 'fed' and watered we felt ready to head back to the car. Next stop, Clifton.
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.
