Comical car

With fuel prices continually rising, small cars are becoming more and more popular; however, there are small cars and then there are small cars, with this undoubtedly one of the latter.

To say it’s economical is of course an understatement, although as far as luggage goes, anything other than a spare pair of pants could be problematic. Of similar concern is the weather, as if it rains, you get wet — it’s as simple as that.

Still, it’s ideal for parking in tight spaces. And, as an added bonus, this particular model is also available in other, equally garish colours.

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.

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.
