Bryan Dyer, 65, is determined to enjoy a beer in all the firm's 827 pubs, and will tick off number 770 when he visits Buxton next week. He says he doesn't care if people think his hobby is odd, and likened it to football groundhoppers who are determined to step foot in all the country's stadiums. The AFC Wimbledon supporter has been to all but a few of the 92 League grounds as well and says he started his Spoons obsession back in 2015. He's managed to double up and get some boozers off the list whilst travelling around the country backing the League Two Dons and with retirement close, he's now going to have more time on his hands. "I decided to start about eight years ago and try and get to all the London pubs, I don't really know why," he told the Mirror. "Someone else was doing it, so I got involved - and now I've done all the south of England. Devon, Cornwall, you name it. "It's not that different to groundhopping in football, I've done 88 League grounds, so four more to go. I've got more Spoons pubs to tick off than that, though! I've only done half the ones in Wales, I'm going to have to plan a trip there very soon. I've done Cardiff, Swansea and Newport but there's so many more left. "The problem is they keep opening and shutting them. Sometimes when you've spent a day getting to one, it's chalked off the list! But I love it, you meet some great people and it's a lot of fun. You get to see some lovely places." Rail worker Bryan says his twelve-hour jaunt to Cumbria last month was worth it and he managed to have a jar in five places including Kendal, Penrith, Workington, Whitehaven and Keswick.
