Wetherspoons

Dale Harvey, 37, and Holly Booth, 31, are on a mission to "raise the profile of the great British pub" - by having a drink in every single one. They started in March last year - and have already spent £22k on alcohol. They've had a half pint or a spirit and mixer in 2,192 pubs so far - around 5% of Britain's total number of boozers.
