FREEDOM PASS WETHERSPOONS ACCORDING TO CHATGPT

 

FREEDOM PASS WETHERSPOONS ACCORDING TO ChatGPT

     I still have much to write up but have now visited more than two thirds of Wetherspoons London pubs. 

     So, I thought it might be an idea to check with ChatGPT if I've missed a trick. It seems not. But for the remaining Spoons, in locations mostly unfamiliar to me, I'll definitely be using ChatGPT as a resource. And I love the way it apologises for my errors!

                 (ChatGPT stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer). 

1. Research: Begin by researching all the Wetherspoon pubs in London. You can find this information on the official Wetherspoon website or through other online directories. Make a list of all the locations, addresses, and opening hours.
2. Plan Your Route: Plot all the Wetherspoon locations on a map of London. Consider grouping them by neighbourhood or proximity to each other to optimize your travel time.
3. Transportation: Decide on the mode of transportation you'll use. London has an extensive public transportation system, including buses, trains, and the Underground (Tube). You could also use a combination of walking and public transport to get around efficiently.
4. Schedule: Plan out the days and times you'll visit each pub. Keep in mind their opening hours and factor in travel time between locations. You might want to visit multiple pubs in one area on the same day to minimize travel time.
5. Budget: Set a budget for your pub crawl. While Wetherspoon pubs are known for their affordable prices, costs can add up, especially if you plan to have a meal or drinks at each location.
6. Safety: Drink responsibly and stay safe throughout your pub crawl. Pace yourself and know your limits, especially if you plan to sample alcoholic beverages at each pub. Make sure to have a designated driver or plan alternative transportation if needed.
7. Enjoy: Take your time at each Wetherspoon pub to soak in the atmosphere, enjoy the food and drinks, and maybe even strike up a conversation with the locals. Don't rush through the experience – the journey is just as important as the destination!
8. Document Your Adventure: Consider documenting your journey by taking photos or keeping a journal. You could create a scrapbook or blog post to share your experience with others.
9. Check for Updates: Before setting out, double-check the opening hours and any COVID-19 restrictions or guidelines that might affect your visit. Keep in mind that pub hours and regulations can change, so it's always a good idea to stay informed.
      By following these steps, you can embark on a memorable journey to visit all the Wetherspoon pubs in London while ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.

     Only Selsdon Wood is within my ballpark 15 minutes walking distance. But it looks worthwhile if the weather is good. And there is also a Wetherspoons in Croydon I've yet to visit. So this is useful information.

IPOH STREET ART

Image
  Ipoh Street Art     I've recently returned from my second home in Ipoh, Malaysia, a city blessed with plenty of street murals.      Mural Arts Lane is the back alley to Jalan Masjid .....        Eric Lau, a local art teacher, launched Mural Arts Lane in 2014. Among his popular murals are the Children Games Series.       Most of these works  have been there for years, free of vandalism, despite being easily accessible. But they do suffer from the tropical climate and, if not restored, eventually weather away ......        2024                                                   .... and four years earlier.      Mural Arts Lane is in Ipoh New Town, but there is plenty more street art in Old Town, around Concubine Lane.       The Uber delivery ...

ANIMAL STATUES IN LONDON 1

  Animal Statues in London 1          Denmark Hill                                                                    Sutton         T he Fox is in the front garden of the Fox on the Hill,  a very nice Wetherspoons with great views - you can see the London Eye in the distance.      The name of the pub dates back to the 1700s when   The Fox  was situated further down Denmark Hill. Later it was renamed   The Fox Under Hill  and the starting point for many hunting meets with foxhounds. It was flattened by the Luftwaffe in 1941 and later rebuilt at this new location as the present  Fox on the Hill.  It stands next to Ruskin Park on Denmark Hill, named after Prince George of Denmark, who hunted there. He was the husb...

GLASGOW STREET ART

   Glasgow Street Art        A few days after my Brighton break I found myself in another place awash with fine street art - and the only major UK city I'd never visited before . The 'summer' weather in Glasgow was even wetter and colder than in Brighton. But that didn't put me off; and I was never far from a Wetherspoons when the rain (and hail) showers threatened.      Using one of those quaint old paper street maps marked with a route plotted from streetartcities.com is a good way to get under the skin of a city, often away from the obvious tourist spots.       Where better to start than with archetypal Glaswegian  Rab C. Nesbitt, played by Gregor Fisher since 1988. Even those who  never watched the TV series are likely to remember his  Hamlet ad.   Apparently Johnny Depp based his Glaswegian  accent for Alice in Wonderland   on Rab.       Wind Power , Mitchell Street, by Ro...
