Nope, nowt to do with the cricket (we'll cover that later) but with our lunch time experiences at some of our local restaurants.
The first place we entered saw the only waiter ignore us and carry on watching the TV. After a few moments, wifey got up, picked up the menus and as she sat don, he came over to take our order. We hadn't even opened the book.
We sent him back to his TV and having chosen, called him over. He listened to our requests and then told us it would take at least an hour/hour and a half as the restaurant wasn't ready. Erm, so you don't serve food until gone two o'clock? Wouldn't it have been a good idea to mention this at the start?
We picked another diner with some people sitting down.
This time the waiter brought over the menus promptly and told us we could have a prawn sandwich. We queried if there was perhaps any hot food available and he trotted off to the kitchen and came back and said we could have the prawn curry.
I told him I didn't want the prawn curry- I'd rather choose my own food and off he went back to find out if this was OK. Somehow, it was and half an hour later we had a beef curry and the veggie option.
Wifey's was better as my beef was awful, tough, fatty and like a lump of rubber, but beef aside (which is where most of it ended), the curry was good. Not sure about the couscous type rice, which was very fragrant and had a lump of strawberry jam on top (the chutney?) but the poppodoms were nifty.
Hefty bill as all prices are without 10% tax and we ended up paying over LNR 1 200, ~£6.70, which wasn't worth it.
