Mature menu

Whilst the savoury dishes on offer are said to be decidedly average, the dessert at this particular pub-cum-restaurant is said to be well worth the wait — creamy delights being a well-known speciality.

Those opting to go down can also have a lovely time apparently.

Spell-check chancers

So near.

Gone astray gaming

Having spent what seemed like hours looking for the local game centre, it turns out it was right there in front of me the whole time.

Initially I was worried it meant right there, as in ‘turn’ right. But with no clear indication of where ‘there’ was, my search appeared far from over.

Thankfully that wasn’t the case. It was indeed ‘Right there’. However contrary to expectation, it wasn’t much fun.
