I went out for a Christmas Meal tonight. We couldn't get booked in anywhere on short notice all bar the Happy Cocks in Whitchurch.
This is one of the Hungry Horse chains and actually not a particularly good one. But the pub was clean and had some tinsel shoved round it....Festively ;P
And it was cheap to eat!
Our waitress was a tiny girl with a bright yellow shirt on with a cartoon horse embroidered to her chest. We had matching paper napkins, crackers and tablecloth! Very posh.
Dessert was Christmas pud, which was ok. One girl had the Irish truffle, which was a small slice of some Sara Lee frozen thing with a curly wurly on top dusted with icing sugar. Because of our salty gravy, the toothless guy came out and gave us all a curly wurly. Just after I finished educating some of them as to how much fun you can have with one of the plaited choc bars (use your imagination Barney) this caused much laughter.
Also they didn't know what FM boots were (innocents) and one girl recited how her child had said 'Frigging' the day before and everyone was horrified (I kept quiet about Abby's Fuck off School Language!)
OMG I just remembered we never had a mince pie. That was part of the deal. Well that's ruined Christmas now!
I told everyone to remember me to their husbands. They all fancy me of course. One guy left his house keys (innocently I add) in my bedroom one Christmas Eve and never lived it down since (Don't think he's been allowed out since either).
