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.

Abraham Darby - Brierley Hill
Visited 17th October 2012.
In complete contrast to the previous pub I am now in 'The Abraham Darby'. It is on the edge of a shopping centre and I have just spent a considerable amount of time wandering around the lanes looking for it. For some reason there didn't seem to be any maps or signage for where the various shop were and I eventually had to resort to asking people. Nobody seemed to know until I asked a security guard who didn't know but did ask a cleaner who from somewhere on his cart produced a map which he kindly gave to me.Map in hand I then walked almost the entire length of the centre (again) to the pub. I treated myself to a large Pepsi, after all the walking I felt that I had earned it. Another moan here, if a pint of beer was pulled and there was 3/4 of an inch gap between the top of the beer and the top of the glass there would be a huge fuss created (as there was when Wetherspoons tried to introduce oversize glasses). So why do so many bar staff think it is OK to do the same with Pepsi?
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.
