Having coffee and a cheese scone at Crimples, Harrogate, while the car is charging. Pleasant but as usual the drink and food arrived separately and the hot scone was almost cold by the time the coffee arrived.
Must throw out these tights, just noticed a hole in the right thigh, it's about three centimetre in diameter!

@ArishMell The place has delusions of grandeur. It's a garden centre with a café/restaurant, but you have to wait to be seated, not self service. The waiting staff all wear aprons but the guy who attends the door and directs you to a table is wearing jeans and a short sleeved shirt that's not tucked in. He looks more like a less than averagely well off customer than an employee.
@ninalanyon I see! I once attended an annual dinner with about 100 guests, where the hotel staff tried a silver-service approach... but with far too few staff. It didn't work! The establishment accept its mistake, gave the society a big discount. We did in fact go back the following year and this time, without silver-service, it went very well.
