Graham Walters Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I must be reaching that age where I am bored with the day to day rituals of living, and I seem to have joined the ranks of pensioners who like to liven things up a bit, and have a larf. Myself and the domestic Valkyrie went out for lunch the other day, we decided to call in at a restaurant that had recently opened in town and had got some good reviews. We were soon shown to a table and given a couple of menu's to peruse, then a little devil popped inside my head ! On the waitresses return my wife gave her order. The waitress turned to me expectantly. I'll have the steak ...etc etc... Could I also have two bags of multi-purpose, a bag of John Innes No1 ... some lawn feed and weed, and a ball of string please ? The poor waitress looked at me, turned on her heels and left, returning with a rather stern looking gentleman, who firmly but politely informed me that the "Restaurant" did not sell the other things I asked for. By now SWMBO was sinking under the table. I looked at him dead pan. You're missing a trick I said, theres a place down the road, always full, great food and you can get all that stuff. That Sir said the now growing impatient man is "the garden centre" I beg to differ, to me it is a restaurant, that also sells gardening stuff, like I said you're missing a trick, it's always full of people eating then buying gardening stuff. Said gentleman ..sighed.. and walked away. Wife resurfaced and looked at me as if to say "I'm getting you certified" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
