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 Edward Rutland - Stourbridge
Visited 17th October 2012.
By the time I got back to the car I was cold and windswept and ready for another coffee. A quick scan of my pub list and I'm off and heading to Stourbridge where the last two pub of the day were awaiting me. I made it to Stourbridge uneventfully and managed to find a parking space almost directly outside the 'The Edward Rutland' having already driven past my final pub of the day a few hundred yards up the road. It was quiet inside, definitely the least busy pub of the day. While I was waiting at the bar I had a look around the room and saw several tables still with dirty plates and glasses on them. Several minutes standing at the bar and I was still waiting to be served. I was listening to the manager who was on the phone telling someone how busy they were and how understaffed they were... Eventually I was served a large latte. The pub did hold one surprise for me though. I had sat drinking my coffee in a fairly traditional setting but when I walked through to the back of the pub I had to go down a short corridor and emerged in to a much more modern looking room complete with disco lights and another bar, although there was still nobody in there. Not a bad pub but a shame about the lack of service.
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.
