Prescription deliveries, done

Too sunny to spend the day on the sofa, Tunbridge Wells beckons
Thought we'd stop for a lunch en route

Stop 1:  they'd downgraded the menu.  Not that that mattered as they couldn't be arsed to take our order so after 15 minutes we walked out.  'TJs A21 Diner beckons' says I loud enough so all the bone idle staff could hear

Stop 2: The place is closed, permanently 'due to unforeseen circumstances'  Banghead

Stop 3: The Brown Trout.  A pub we said we've never go back to (bad experience c 1980)

Well 45 years later it was great,  3rd time lucky  ;D
Well, whatever, nevermind

Decided to stop in Lidl on the way back from an interview to see if they had anything interesting. Talk about stranger in a strange land, I'm pretty sure that at least half of the customers had been turned away from the Star Wars cantina.  eeek:
