I am knackered now, I had forgotten how hard moving house is and not prepared to do it again soon. Should sleep well tonight.

Best F&C I have had are
a) best fish - Anna's in Moreton where I grew up - she would not serve a fish unless it had been cooked and then left - standing up on its end - for a few minutes so ALL the fat drained out
b) chips - better in Greasby where my parents lived
worst in all respect - a place in Bangor North Wales where I lived for a while - small portions and greasy - only survived as they were right by the front (such as it was) and the only place open in that area after 5 p.m.
N.B. - probably changed hands by now and MUST have improved as that was the only was to go

Yes - they were complaining about the cost of fish & chips in London and saying that the best f&c was in Yorkshire.
Did I miss something?

Would you complain when you were given the bill?

Back home from 3 hours in the studio rehearsing with the band. Our heavy rock versions of I Want To Hold Your Hand and Viva La Vida now perfected.

I have risen!
Click and collect day today. I'll refuel the jumbo jet while I'm out. On the way back I'll swing by a friends abode for a beverage.

Filled the van yesterday. £96! Was beginning to worry that it would go over 100. Our most expensive refuel (almost identical VW) in Australia was just over 70 AUD, but you get nearly 2 of them to the £. We'll get nearly 700 miles from the tank so won't have to fill up again for a while.
