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 Sawyer's Arms - Exeter
Visited 24th March 2013.
The second day of our weekend in Exeter found us walking round the city armed with a map of Art Galleries and workshops and various other gathering places. We were on the trail of Art. We had a pretty good day and managed to visit a gallery (the starting point), a pub and two shops that were part of the art trail. We were fed biscuits and chatted with artists and generally enjoyed ourselves even though there was a lot of walking involved. We finished for the day with a walk to the new 'spoons which hadn't existed on our last visit. Time for something to eat but we had left it a bit late and all the hot dogs were gone as was the lasagne. I settled for a beef roast and a beer, with the girls having ham, egg and chips and a baked potato with tuna and a couple of pints of Pepsi. When we arrived it was very busy and the barman was working hard trying to keep up on his own but it quietened down a bit during the time we were there. We decided we had had enough walking for the day as we worked out that it was going to take us about forty five minutes to walk back to our friendscar and it was starting to get very cold. So we called a cab, to take us back to the car! She drove us back to her house so we could get our bags and car and then, thankfully, we had a nice uneventful journey home. A different, but very enjoyable weekend.
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.
