Nottingham van driver is Wetherspoon's superfan visiting more than 240 pubs

Wetherspoon's pubs have a legion of fans who love the cheap and cheerful prices but Nottingham truck driver Tim Clarke is what you'd call a superfan. The 66-year-old grandfather has stepped inside no fewer than 240 different Wetherspoon's pubs in the last five years - and he has the paper menus to prove it.

He says: "II ask the staff before I take them. The big menu tells you the history of the pub. "I write on the date and if my favourite football team, Nottingham Forest, are playing, I put the match score on.

"I've got two folders, one downstairs and one in the attic. They're all filed alphabetically under counties. I don't know what I'm going to do with them. My missus always says, 'Why do we have to take them?', but I tell her that one day the grandkids might want to look back at the history and say, 'The pints were cheap in those days'."
