From the keyboard of the late Aqualung:

As for the clientele it was fairly typical mixed JDW, the only annoyance being a couple of mothers with screaming kids. If my mother had been like them I...

A long one from the dead side for The Watch House (JD Wetherspoon) which made me smile:

My wife and I are renowned for our love of Indian food, and we have been dining at the Curry Garden in Lee...

The bar has just two hand pumps which had Doom Bore and Woodforde's Wherry. I went for the Wherry (£3.00) which was pretty sour and horrible, far worse than over 99% of Wetherspoon pints. I would...
