We had a drive to J32 for breakfast and a mooch round before the crowds arrived which they were doing before we left, haven't people got anything better to do😁. A lovely couple decided to enjoy breakfast at a local restaurant, where the "Seniors' Special" offered two eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast—all for just £4.99. "Sounds perfect," the wife said, "but I don't want the eggs." The waiter, with a serious tone, replied, "In that case, I'll have to charge you £5.49 because you're ordering a la carte." The wife, surprised, asked, "So, I'd have to pay more for not getting the eggs?" "YES!" the waiter confirmed. With a sly smile, the wife decided, "Alright, I'll take the special." "Great! How would you like your eggs?" the waiter asked. "Raw and in the shell," she replied with a grin. She took those two eggs home and baked a cake! Moral of the story: Don't mess with seniors—they've got experience on their side! We've been around the block more than once! This reminds me of an incident many many years ago. My sister in law is a veggie (now vegan) and we went into a cafe in town with a very limited menu, there wasn't anything in particular for veggies so she asked if she could just have chips and beans. The waiter said no sorry its sausage, chips and beans. She offered to pay for sausage chips and beans but just leave the sausage off. She was still refused so we left. For the sake of 2 sausages they lost 4 covers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Megabear2 Posted August 26 #61480 Share Posted August 26 Anyone know what to do with your suitcases on Aurora if they won't fit under the bed? I've currently got two on my balcony but I don't think I can leave them there permanently. The steward has shrugged his shoulders and said nothing he can do. The beds are extremely low, even my small hard suitcase has been a struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could reduce the depth by half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beds are extremely low, even my small hard suitcase has been a struggle. We ended up putting one of ours under the sofa, OH had to lift it but then they went under. Only works if it’s not a sofa bed (and you can lift it of course). That said the cabin steward should actually be able to find a home for it. They did it for my sisters massive baggage on Aurora in April this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but that's my next trick! I've just taken all my shoes and long dresses out of the wardrobe to accommodate one of them. My shoes now live in the small case I managed to get under the bed. My large pink one is looking very forlorn out on the balcony. This has been the longest unpack in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted August 27 #61491 Share Posted August 27 Good morning everyone. Just woke and had my tea, feeling unusually cheerful. Which is nice, but tends to provoke the gods in punishing me later in the day with a minor disaster. So will walk extra carefully hoping not to trip any more. Now the Bank Holiday is over we may have a bit of nice weather, around here anyway. I hope everyone else is feeling all right, and will have a good day. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut006 Posted August 27 #61492 Share Posted August 27 Good morning everyone, hope you are all ok today and all had a nice Bank Holiday weekend. There was a music festival on in St Annes all weekend, we went yesterday and it was brilliant, all free too so even better!! Its coffee morning with the girls this morning for me then unfortunately it looks like an appointment with the ironing board this afternoon. It looks miserable outside today and rain is forecast all day. It feels like Autumn, even the central heating has come on this morning.

brian1 Posted August 27 #61495 Share Posted August 27 Morning all.good day yesterday.Walking back from the gym I saw an "offcut" of plywood in a skip of a house being refurbished.I thought great that will do to cut up and cross brace the inside of our shed.The builder was there and said no worries just take it.When I lifted it I realised how big it was,with another 3/4 of a mile to the tube,I thought I'll get the bus.It was full of shoppers coming back from Lakeside.I got some funny looks and remarks but made it back home via the tube.Luckily the bus driver was quite easy going,lol. 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
