Day 782 Who’s sitting in my chair?

29th September 2019

I took Nicola and Colin our for a Sunday lunch. We went to the Eagles Nest on the A303 that we stopped at a few days before. Colin wanted to reserve a particular table by the window, because he does like a view when he eats. So with the table reserved we looked forward to a good meal.

As we pulled up outside, the car park was full, including a coach. I made a joke about the place being filled with old gits, and sure enough it was.

I could see Colin craning his neck looking for the reserved table, but it was occupied.

I could hear him moaning, and Nicola was protesting, we were told the coach had arrived early, so they had to give away our table. We were consigned to the upstairs skittle ally where tables had been set up, so the only view he had was through the skylight.

I could see Nicola was seething all through the meal and most of the afternoon, as she composed an appropriate response to the management of the establishment.
