Back home ... after two weird days oop North
Rail tracks broken ... take the buzzatellya ... train stations with no cab rank
... pub where they look at you as if you've landed from outer space when you ask for a local taxi service ...
Pub with a chalk board saying (in easy to read lower case letters) " fancy a nibble ... try our bread and oil dip "
Probably an upgrade from bread 'n' dripping.
Bar staff getting every third order wrong
(ordering drinks for those at the wake ... not just me before you ask)
Being asked three times if my breakfast is to my liking ...
... Oh, and being told you can eat everything if you like ...
Asking for directions and being told the place we want is next to the Seafarer Chippy ... everybody knows where the Seafarer is...
Wading through police, journalists and cameramen at Crewe station because a politician is about to arrive ...
Home at last ...
