What Could Possibly Go Wrong ...
46 Answers
... all we wanted was a pub lunch.
Group of half a dozen thirsty bird-watchers - pitch up at 12:30 at a carefully selected pub (tripadvisor 'best in area' etc etc) - but it was closed. On a Friday lunchtime?? Website says open, door says "come back at 6pm".
So we hopped off to another pub - been there before - nothing special, but OK for beer and food - sign outside says "lunches 12 'til 2" - barmaid says 'come back at 6pm'.
So (in something approaching desperation) we drove quite quickly to a third hostelry - usually OK for beer and cheap/quick food, but not quite what we had planned.
It took nearly an hour to produce half a dozen fish/chips/mushy - during which time the chav inhabitants compared tattoos and thongs whilst their vile sprogs ran riot.
I would say "how unlucky was that" - but then I remembered that the estimable gness was part of the group ...
