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 Samuel Peto - Folkestone
Visited 21st February 2014.
Having left Ashford it took about half an hour to get to Folkestone and another ten minutes to find somewhere to park. This we then walked to The Samuel Peto where we had a very pleasant surprise. The entrance was very imposing and inside it was spectacular. Mrs S. found us a booth upstairs while I went and ordered a pint of the Oatmeal guest ale for myself and a large latte for Mrs S. It wasn't very busy and it would have been easy to feel a bit lost in the place but the many booths gave a nice feeling of intimacy and privacy. This was quite easily the most impressive pub I had been in for quite a while, it's a shame it wasn't my local! We reluctantly left and headed for Margate with only one quick stop as we were leaving Folkestone to take a few pictures of a rather tall brick bridge.
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.
