I actually thought it was basil Fawlty's restaurant. The service didn't exist. No fish or veal as they ran out at 7.00pm. My wife's meal came 1 hour after the rest of us got ours and was inedible. WJ and mine came about 20 minutes after the other couple got theirs'. I actually started to look around for a camera. As we walked out another table had half the people eating and the other half waiting for their meal. Lastly we spoke to another table who had been waiting over an hour for something to eat. I should have gone into the kitchen to say hello to Basil and Manuel. At least be thankful you didn’t have any Germans dining with you at the time! Edited July 12, 2019 by Earl Hood 3 Quote

dpositive 1,838 Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Can't believe the number of Banana references in commentary of Tour de France. bananarama not mentioned as a sponsor.Perhaps its a product placement move by the French grocery firm who are a major sponsor. Quote

I see that british mountains are being covered with banana skins, to the end that hikers are being told not to leave the skins on mountain tops. 8 kilos of skins on Ben Nevis alone. Who is responsible? 1 Quote
