The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I am just anti chain.

I am always pro mom and pop shop. Love those little English towns with nice pubs or tea places.

Makes me wanna go back!
Despite the crawling despair of global chains making every big-town high street look identical, we still have plenty of brave independent food makers and coffee and tea heroes who know what they're doing.

I recently met a tea expert whose knowledge of the subject was simply incredible.

Check out the health benefits (and flavours) of White Jasmine Tea. Absolutely amazing.

Glad you enjoyed your visit to our little collection of islands! Hope you can make it back some time.
 
Everyone enjoying their early taste of Christmas spirit?

My wife and I drove to a local shopping centre this afternoon and when I spent three seconds deciding which parking space to use, the guy in the car behind me started beeping his horn, waving his arms and shouting obscenities.

Twenty minutes later, having bought some new lights for the tree, I saw him and his wife waiting patiently in the queue at the checkout. I looked in his direction and gave him a broad smile.

When he realised I was nearly a foot taller than him he shuffled away and hid behind the mince pies display.

What is it that turns people into raging morons the moment they get behind a steering wheel?

Looking after real ale on draught is a dying art. So many new pub owners have no idea about the need to clean the pipes from the cellar to keep the beer in pristine condition.

Had a g/f once who got jumped at the gas pump by some cunt who accused her of cutting in front of him. I came out from tookening a leak and saw this crap, walked up behind him, and growled to find out the cause of his wanton st000pidity. He turned and I was right on him looking down at him, and he beat some feet outta there kinda quickly.


I didn't smile . . . .
 
I'm circling back around the little rumble seat coupe. I found the ad online of the guy who sold it to the guy I'm trying to talk to. We had a good chat. Anyway, he gave me some good pointers on the car, as one old old car guy to another old old car guy. So, we'll see if'n we hear back from him.


Potential Road Trip, Wonderer!!!!
 
Long night so far. Can't seem to shake this cold. Pounding headache tonight, decided to finally have a small snack and take something for it.

Hope you all had a better day than I did.

When I'm not feeling good, lazing around (why does autocorrect suggest aerola for around? Anyway...), eBay tends to have a pretty good day too...

Goodnight all.
I hope you're feeling better now! 🫂🫂

:ROFLMAO:

Made it through the vendor meeting - my only goal for today.
Back to bed for me - think my fever broke.
Will be nice once this targeted immune flare is resolved. 😂

Be good, spoonies!!

Oh - @HumpDayHoratio - I did a bit of walking last night... around my car as I brushed the 5" of fluffy white off after my appointment. I was in there @ 2hrs as the dr was running an hour late. Still, 5 in 2 hours is a good start to get my area digging out of a mild drought. ❄️

Thanks for going the extra mile with the flapjack / pancake analysis!
What you call flapjacks are sold as pancakes in the UK, always best served warm with butter and/or honey or maple syrup.
The industrial UK flapjacks / oat cakes are often disgusting, made with cheap fats and too much processed garbage.
The home-made ones, on the other hand, are glorious inventions with all manner of fruity and nutty flavours.
I'm going to try your recipe. But add nuts and chocolate, of course! 😅😅
 
It's moved on to sneezing and runny nose. I suppose that's progress... LOL!

I have an appointment with my Dr tomorrow.

I'm thinking F-it, I'm going. I'll just wear a mask. We have blood work number to unveil. 🤷‍♂️
There was a segment on the local news that flu and RSV have increased 320% in the schools.

Nor would I have done, in those circumstances.
