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.

Waterend Barn - St Albans
Visited 7th June 2012.
Like so many people I have taken the three days between the Jubilee bank holiday and the weekend as holiday. Sadly Mrs S. hasn't so I'm on my own and bored. So, I can stay at home and do some DIY or hit the road and visit a few pubs. Hmm, if I'm quick I can be at the first pub in time for breakfast. I set off for St Albans intending to eat at 'The Cross Keys' but having parked and walked in to town the first 'spoons I came to was the 'Waterend Barn'. Decision made, breakfast was calling. Inside it was... barn like and very warm. The fires were on and had collected quite a fan club but it was a little to warm for me so I headed in to a different, cooler but still barn like room where I sat and ate a large breakfast and drank a large latte. I started chatting to the barmaid who gave me directions to 'The Cross Keys' but also told me that it had closed last week and would not be reopening. Now I need to check this out for myself!
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.
