So, back to Eastbourne tomorrow, for a meeting finishing at 12.
I still hanker after a luncheon of fish and chips, by the sea, in a steamy restaurant - possibly accompanied by a cup of tea. Last week, however, I bottled it due to the clientele being old and common.
How can I achieve my culimary goal without being mocked? I assume one doesn't book in advance in these places - but when I enter, should I sit myself, or will there be a maitre d' to assist me?
I might be after something a little more traditional, tbh.
I want to be served by an old lady in an apron.
This looks more like it...
Presumably in fanny batter.
I expect they do a terrific doner, as well. I just happen to be in the market for cod and chips.
'Addock, if I were up norf.
I want bread and butter. I wouldn't even mind a wally on the side. But I don't want any fancy guff, nor any foreign muck.
Gashi my arse.
The Trident it is. They'll give me a Spam fritter
At those prices? Certainly.
I want a pic so I can vicariously enjoy your lunch while I eat something egg-based
I will share, b, fear not.
I'm quite nervous me. I MUST have the courage to walk in and demand food.
If you run into trouble, just give me a call and I'll talk you through it.
If only I knew what to do upon entry. Do I sit down? Approach the counter? Await instructions?
Here's my tip: Lurk outside and wait for someone else to go in. Then follow them in and do what they
do. You will blend in perfectly.
Good plan. I could aldo buy a common person's clothes from them, as a disguise.
The traveller must sometimes suffer in order to experience life's wonders, b.
