Mistake #2

Lesson 1: train not bus; lesson 2: when at Heathrow don’t eat at Bridge. It is not very clean – no one bothered wiping the table before I sat down, and the menus were sticky with beer. Or at least I hope it was beer. And the food is pretty ropey and certainly overpriced.

The microwave is on the blink: if the mac dish was a world map then Siberia was in the east and Florida was in the west. Geographically that’s about right but mac cheese should be Florida all over. It tasted quite a bit less good than the equivalent at Austins department store so, people of Newton Abbot, stop moaning! (And in Austins it’s half the price!)

The Boston beer is doing a reasonable job of washing away the salt…
