Sylvia glad your foot is on the mend <3

Gins at least you still managed to have a laugh ;-)

........and where is that Cynthia woman today?

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Ive added a review about the place on Trip Advisor

I had a laugh reading through some of the other reviews

Gin,

Sounds as if the Indian restaurant that you visited should have been named Crimi Nirmals. :-D

High prices, not having the food they recommend available, inedible substitute food and a high service charge. No wonder it was empty on a Saturday night.

There must be better and cheaper ways that you and JB can find to laugh you t#ts off.

Dea

Me and JB are still laughing about it this morning!

I brought him a cuppa and said 'I know you like Assam, but Ive brought you Green Tea with lots of salt in as I think it is best......£9.90 please'

Only you could manage to 'enjoy' a night out like that Ginns ;-) :-D :-D

Glad you did though <3

Well, what a night!

Taxi wouldnt come up our road, so we walked to the main drag to flag a black cab.

After slipping all over the place we managed to get dropped off at the pub at 8pm to meet Tim & Chris before going on to the Italian for 9.30pm

JB went on to get some wine and we went straight in to the restaurant, where we greeted with hugs and kisses from the lovely staff.

Sat down and............all the power went off, lucky there was lots of candles!

Tim says, dont worry, they will have gas to cook and there was an emergency light in the kitchen

Waiter came to chat with us, the gas is powered by electric :-S

10.15pm we decided it was time to go for a curry. Walked up the road and headed into a place called 'Nirmals'

It was empty which is not a good sign for a Saturday night. Got the menus and tried to order....the owner an Indian lady came and sat with us and started telling us what we should and shouldnt have :-0

She forced a dish onto me for my main, highly recomended. After a while she came to tell me they had run out of 'said' recomended dish and would I have XYZ!!!

When it came, I couldnt eat it. One dish was potato based and was so salty, I couldnt eat it (and you know how I like my salt)

The other dish, was a pile of sloppy spinach.....inedible.

When the bill came, we couldnt read it so asked her to come and explain. One of the charges was £10.90 for a service charge....err, nope, not paying that

There were two ways we could have gone with this, get angry and walk out or laugh our t#ts orf...we went for the latter and had a fab time taking the mick

And it was BUDDY expensive

We'll dine out on this experience for some time, no pun intended!

Lovely breakfast, thank you Sylvs <3 <3 <3 and I am SO looking forward to that lunch.......... Yuummmm :-D <3

I am so glad your foot is starting to feel better Sylvia Xxx

Cant remember the add but the woman says

'Last year my mum fell badly'

Up norf, this means she was sick/ill

Maybe if there had been a pause in her sentence

'Last year, my mum fell badly'

Thanks Linds........

Dreading walking to the main drag, think I might get JB to pull me on a sledge!
