vmaxphil Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Glad you enjoyed your stay sounds like the chief had some imagination, I despair when we go to a supposed good restaurant and find burger fish and chips and pizza on the menu 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Sound like a nice break and a thoughtful retirement present from your work place . One way or the other I hope you have a long and happy retirement and your knees don't give up on you for a good few years , mine is very nearly 15 years now and still don't regret a single day . GOOD LUCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try putting some punctuation in it. I think that place must be worth at least one star. some of these cooks competions make me laugh when the chef proudly states "yes, I am the head chef at the ROYAL dog and duck"..... OK, so we'd like you to cook us an omelette. To this the chef replies... OH I'm sorry I can't do that one. !!! 😊😊😊😊 you'll have to get the correct cartridges sorted out for you knee. 😁😂😃. Happy retirement. Edit.. that place sounds about the same as the place in the tv advert where the customer queries the bill and is told that the first chip is £3.50 and each subsequent chip is a pound. 😂😃😆 Edited November 6, 2022 by Minky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
