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 Spon Gate - Coventry
Visited 15th December 2012.
Yesterday Mrs S. and I drove to Birmingham for my company Christmas party. We had a bit of a boogie, a few beers and spent the night in a very nice hotel. We decided to take advantage of the situation and spend to day visiting a few 'spoons (wow, I bet came as a bit of a surprise!) The first pub on my list was 'The Spon Gate' in Coventry. Actually it wasn't, the first was meant to be 'The Flying Standard' but after parking and asking a police lady for directions, she thought it would be easier to point us to 'The Spon Gate'. It was fairly dark inside and had a dance floor at the far end. It was also fairly busy with about half of its tables occupied. Mrs S. had a Pepsi and I had a Buffalo Trace and Pepsi. We both quite liked this one but had a busy day ahead of us so we were off as soon as we had finished our drinks.
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.
