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 Bear and Ragged Staff - Bedworth
Visited 13th June 2013.
Something a little bit different is happening for us this weekend. A few of us are spending a long weekend at the Download festival. This means we have all had to leave work promptly, get home, pack and hit the road. It also means that none of us have had time for any tea so after about an hour and a half of driving we found somewhere to park in Bedworth and went in search of The Bear and Ragged Staff, which we found with no effort at all. We went in and found a place to sit, which was pretty easy as it wasn't very busy. I ordered a Chilli dog with a pint of Meerkat Mild guest ale with Mrs S. opting for a jacket potato with tuna and coleslaw with a large Pepsi. Our food took an age to arrive and for the people we were with even longer, to the point where they were offered free hot drinks by way of an apology. We were told the chef was working in the kitchen on his own and that was why we had to wait so long for our food. When the food when it did arrive though it was fine. We drank and ate up and headed off to the hotel where we were to spend the night in anticipation of our big first day at Download.
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.
