No food at the inn
Took us four goes this afternoon to get something to eat... First we tried the Cock at Wishaw. We got there just after 2 and after a long wait at the bar I was told that they'd had to close the kitchen because they'd run out of various ingredients. Then we headed over to the Green Man at Middleton but the direction signs conspired against us and we ended up at The Bassett's Pole. There we were told there was a 30-minute wait for a table inside and if we wanted to eat outside we were only allowed to choose from the bar menu. So off we went again, this time to the Bottle of Sack in Sutton. On the tables there were drinks menus and Tuesday food menus. Assuming that for some reason Wetherspoons had designated today as a Tuesday, we chose from that, only to be told that they were using the normal menu...

History (recent)
Do you remember the baked-bean price war of the 1990's? Whenever I see beans these days priced around 50p a tin, I look back with nostalgia to a time when 5p was expensive!
