Not Quite What I Wanted

tourmalineDay 110 This is a very quick snap of the outside of the Bull's Head, a pub/restaurant we went to for lunch today after our team meeting. Not quite the experience we'd hoped for.
We'd been there before, last year when one of our team retired, so we booked again. Took them almost an hour to bring our food, we'd offered to pre-order when booking because there were so many of us but they said no, it wasn't necessary. We complained - well, my friend S complained on behalf of all of us - and we ended up paying only for the food, not the drinks. S has studied under a friend who is good at complaining and getting fair recompense when things don't go right. It was a shame that it wasn't so good today because it was so nice last time, it's a really cool building (the main building is really old, it was a coaching inn many years ago), and because they took so long I missed seeing Discovery land live. I'm really sad about that, only one more time out for each of the orbiters and I don't want to miss anything.
