How's Your Day Been?

[EcclesCake]

I went out last night and had the worst Indian meal I've ever eaten (or not eaten in this case) and drank a prodigious amount of wine and stayed up until gone three this morning.

Today I still have a hangover and I am having to find an insurance company that will cover me for acts of terrorism whilst on holiday as things have been getting a bit lively where I'm heading to! In between ringing insurance companies I am trying to do some invoicing and answering the phone and door bell which seem to be going non-stop today, they know my head is thumping!

I should have declared today a duvet day.

Hope your day has been better....

That's a bit drastic alba! You getting a replacement?

[Barmaid]

Why do people wait until I've just opened a bottle of wine to phone me and ask me to do stuff?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chilldoubt, I went for a ride today and it wasn't pleasant. I went down to the beach and nearly got blown off! My cheeks were all rosy red when I got home.

Have no idea yet Chill, local town hall closed, all boarded up, found out what they've done with the library, they've moved it to a supermarket carpark.

The big town is getting it's town hall all done up to the tune of circa £58 million.

Society, I ordered Chicken 65 which tasted more Chinese than Indian...very odd.

I then ordered a chicken and potato dosa, it came with no potato and was luke warm. I mentioned the lack of potato and was told it was a chicken dosa and shouldn't have potato in it. Long discussion with waitress and manager who finally agreed that the menu was misleading. They replaced my dosa, with one that had just potato in it!?!?! The sambar and coconut chutney that accompanied it had both had all flavour removed by the kitchen. I had a side order of bindi do piaza and had to spend a serious amount of time poking through the onion and tomato trying to find the okra.

My friend had a biryani that was bland beyond belief and over cooked, the only discernible flavour was of black pepper.

The poppadoms, were fresh and not greasy - the highlight of the meal.


ChillDoubt, that's not a bad day at all!

[ChillDoubt]

It must have been seriously cold on the coast Madmen!
I've got plenty of clothing to deal with the cold on the bike but even when wearing my riding glasses there's no way to stop the wind on the eyeballs which results in floods!

[albaqwerty]

good grief Eccles, I take it you're avoiding that place in the future?

There are days when we used to avoid the local chinese as it depended upon which chef was cooking.

[Barmaid]

Eccles, that sounds lousy. I wouldn't be eating there again.

[society]

Hope you made the person in charge aware; that's awful.

[MadMen]

Chilldoubt, see that's where I must have gone wrong. Jeans, long sleeved T-shirt and a jacket... that sun was deceiving! It was SO cold!

[EcclesCake]

Oh and I forgot the icing on the cake. The manager said we weren't to pay for the meal, my friend and I were not prepared to pay nothing, we had no grumble with or drinks so it was only right we should pay for those.

The manager then came back with a bill that had 50% off everything. Not a bad compromise we decided......until I went through the bill to check it and found an extra glass of wine added on.

Attention to detail is not their forte and no, we will not be eating there again.
