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 Cribbar - Newquay
Visited 1st December 2013.
We did a little holiday shopping and then went looking for The Cribbar. We missed it first time as it looks a little bit different from a lot of the other Wetherspoon pubs, a theme that is carried on inside. It was easily the most interesting pub of our three day visit and quite unusual from any of the other 'spoons we have visited. Very summery with its surfer theme and quite at odds with the Christmas tunes being played. It was very quiet and we had no problem finding somewhere for us to sit, me with my half of Doombar (rapidly becoming one of my favourite beers) and Mrs S. once again with her large tea. We chilled out for a while and then as it was to be our last pub of the day before heading home we went to "spend a penny". And the pub held another surprise - I think it's worth a visit just to check out the men's toilets and I was told by Mrs S. that the ladies loos were equally unusual. We had an uneventful trip home, which after a long weekend is always welcome and as usual on these trips we both disagreed on the pub of the weekend. Not that it matters but my favourite was The Green Parrot at Perranporth, Mrs S' was The John Francis Basset in Camborne but The Cribbar should definitely be on your list of 'spoons to visit.
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.
