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 Rocket - London, Putney
Visited 14th April 2012.
We have been invited to a BBQ at a friends, a perfect excuse to trundle into London and visit a few pubs. So, after checking the maps and the Transport For London (TFL) website we walked to the station, ran for the platform and sat for the ride to Paddington. The first pub on our list was in Putney, nearest tube station, Putney Bridge. This meant that we would have to talk a stroll over the bridge, not the sort of thing Mrs S. enjoys. If she can see water from a bridge she starts to get a bit nervous but she made it across by staring at the sky and holding my hand. I didn't feel it prudent to tell her we would have to walk back over it, at least not until she'd had her first latte of the day. I thought I would start the day as I meant to go on and had a Buffalo Trace and Pepsi. It was modern and dark inside, at least at the end of the bar where we were served but as the sun was shining we thought we would find a table overlooking the river and catch a few rays. After finishing our beverages, it was back across the bridge to the tube station and on to Wimbledon for the second pub of the day.
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.
