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 Eight Bells - Dover
Visited 27th February 2015.
Well, it's that time of year when we pack our bags and head off down to Margate for our long weekend away. And, as usual I have planned a visit to a couple of Wetherspoons to coincide with the trip. The first pub of the day is The Eight Bells in Dover, which we reached with no problems despite a fairly heavy but constantly moving trip around the M25. We found a car park only a short walk from the pub and it was only upon entering the pub that we ran into a problem. It was surprisingly busy for a Friday lunchtime to the point that we couldn't, at first find anywhere to sit. I'm not sure how the ladies did it but by the time we had finished at the bar we had a table. After a pint of Pepsi for me and a Malibu and Pepsi for Mrs S. there was time for a quick look round and then back to car and on to the next pub.
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.
