They had run out,
Run out of strawberries!
What an absolute disaster,
I could not now have my favourite,
My favourite sweet
In my favourite pub.
No Eton Mess!
What!
We have plums though,
The waitress said,
We could use those.
So I forgave them,
I had a new Eton Mess
An Eton Mess with plums,
Not strawberries,
And very nice it was too.

Eton Mess British? I had no idea:
Should I remember this, or let it go?
For me it could have come from Tanzania.
Many thanks then Sir, for letting me know.
You cannot assume that everyone knows these things...Ok I'm the only one who didn't; Prof Google soon put me right..LOL
PS: if there's one thing I do miss about England is a good old Pub and a pint of Director's.
Thanks Dave.
I too like Directors but my absolute favourite beer is Pig's Ear which this pub sells.
Andy
Glad Directors is still available, Andy. Pig's Ear sounds good to me if you like Directors.
So just send me a pint by express post.................................
On it's way. Oh bother I drank it!!
It sounds scrummy .. and I bet it felt good in ya tummy ........ Neville 🙂
It certainly did Neville.

Doh! A shop round here is not always not open on its proper times.
I've complained again. People have to go to a similar shop on opposite side of precinct.
Dunno about sold out - the shop don't even open for its proper times. I rarely go there now anyway. A surly shop assistant too - a grunter!
Well don't go there anymore Orchi, there are others around.
Andy
People have to go elsewhere now - they can't wait, being messed about, and no notice of why the shop is not always open on time.
That would start a riot in some places. Did you get the meal free for this inconvenience?
No, I just enjoyed what they served me Paul, it was very nice.
Andy
