We've been down the pharmacy and my Good Lady has her pain killers, on the way back we popped into a favourite cafe and had a spot of lunch.

What's wrong with pubs there days?!
Went to 2 country pubs today intending to have lunch. Had a pint at each one, both were on the turn. Both pubs run by poncey, 'well manicured' landlords from the South East. Fish and Chips - £15 FFS! Sandwiches - £9 FFS! Goats cheese summat or other served with Mediterranean vegetables and Star Anise chiabatta, lovingly rolled on a 17 year old Brazilian virgin's thigh - £22 FFS!
Everything served with 'Jus' or other poncey stuff. All I wanted was a decent pint and a sarnie.
I complained like hell about the beer at the second pub, £5 a pint, after he told me it was a 'fresh barrel'......yeah, last week maybe.
Still....he seemed like a nice boy and didn't charge us.
Came back to the van for a pie.
I despair!
Rant over.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
There seems to be a fair bit of interest in this. Perhaps if we can rope in a few more regulars from this sub forum we could stage our very own production of " Hair"
I'm hoping " Numbnuts" could lend us his expertise but we'd need to cast our net a bit wider for a more balanced, representative repertoire. Mo? Welshie? Monkers? 😉😁
Hqve to agree. You do wonder why anyone would eat in those places.What's wrong with pubs there days?!

For £8.00 you could have had one rolled on welshies thigh.
2 years ago we went to a lovely place on the wirral called Parkgate (google it, its lovely).
Went in a pub with loads of "real ales".
1st pint........very cloudy.
Tried a different one.....cloudy
3rd one......cloudy.
Very young barman started to make all sorts of excuses.
I said "tell you what.....pint of Guinness.....surely you cant get that wrong. It was OKish.

Not only did I fail to order only one bike bag a few weeks ago but I apparently ordered 2 500 gram tubs of Marmite. Yes, Classic 33, I know am in Marmite heaven and have enough for at least a couple days. Of all the glorious treats on this earth my favorite dessert is my wife's apple pie made with lots of tart apples. She made one for my birthday the other day, but with my anti-diabetes carb restrictions I can only have a small sliver, maybe an eighth of the pie. Normally its gone in a couple of days. What sweet torture......I have a short window to do outdoor exertion before it is too hot to enjoy. Need to get out some ancient roses that got mosaic virus and that is competing with bike time. To ease my suffering I've allowed myself not one but two pieces of toast slathered in Marmite this morning to go with my 3 cheesy eggs. Perhaps there could be a short ride later.
It does make me wonder what some of these London folk think they are buying into, when they take over a village pub in the middle of a West Country farming community, and then turn it into a gastro pub.
I can just imagine what old Jethro in the bar is thinking when the well manicured barman minces over to his table offering a lunch that is almost a days wages.

Bored so poking about on internet and FB.
Will not bore you with another motorhome picture parked across all the clearly marked disabled spaces directly opposite our coop.
Rather liked the one with a cat picture.
" Anybody know whose cat this is as it is very friendly and follows us home? Probably pregnant also."
" It's our cat and he had b----y well not be pregnant".
