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 Queen Hotel - Aldershot
Visited 11th May 2014.
It's been a bit quiet this weekend, one of those weekends where we really haven't felt like doing much apart from vegging out. We also don't feel like cooking and are getting hungry so I have proposed a short road-trip. A new Wetherspoons opened last month in Aldershot so that automatically makes it to top of the list. About forty minutes later and we are looking for somewhere to park. This is where we find out that there are not very many free places to park in Aldershot even on a Sunday so when we eventually find a bit of free parking we are left with a bit of a walk to the pub. But the weather is dry and the walk just helps build our appetites. It turns out that the pub is very busy with lots of people eating but we manage to get a table and I am swiftly dispatched to the bar to order our fare. I order a mixed grill with a pint of one of the guest ales and for Mrs S. a jacket potato with the BBQ pulled pork filling and a pint of Pepsi. Our food took about twenty minutes to arrive but considering how busy it was that was pretty quick. We stayed a while after finishing our food, mainly to give us time to mentally prepare ourselves for the walk back to the car, which as it turned out didn't seem to be as far walking back, possibly as we knew where we were going! Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
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.
