So we finally made it into Blue Moon on the 23rd December. I have to admit it was quiet but quite nice. And pretty reasonably priced considering the time of year. We managed popadums, two veg pakora starters and our mains (one with rice, one with Naan Bread - which is what we normally do).
Decided not to have pudding, but we did have a drink each. Before we left I went to the loo. There was only one toilet. Whilst on the loo, there was the sound of high heels then knocking on the loo door. Then heard foot steps leaving bathroom and going round to the mens' - oh dear.....The lass must have been very drunk and desperate for the loo but she was bragging about it to her fellow workers (who had only just ordered food and where on several bottles of wine by this point).
An we hit the sales on boxing day - with a meal at Ask Italian (2 for 1 on Mains). There was a Christmas menu but we decided this deal was too good to pass up. Especially when the offer included our favourite - CALZONE CON CARNE PICCANTE, which basically is a folded pizza stuffed with meats, amazing tomato sauce, herbs and chilli...and cheese!
We where bad later and ended up in the Starbuck at Union Square. Not my most favourite coffee house because of the price and the queue! But the other half had been dragged round shop after shop and needed a break. So I finally got the the front of the queue - drinking tea so got served it straight away and proceed to sip my way through about a third of a regular mug before the hot chocolate for the other half.
I did have a bit of a roll the eyes in the queue at the two quines (lassies to those of us that don't know Doric) in-front of me. One had to ask the other what Vegan was....which the others reply was laughable then about two minutes later she asked the first quine why it was more expensive to eat in. Now they looked about eighteen, this conversation made me drop their age down to about fifteen....
Incidentally there was also a loo incident at Union Square. A poor bloke on a phone wandered into the ladies (probably following the missus). Proceed to stand in the doorway, still talking on the phone for a good minute or so before finally walking out. Think the pink wall with the giant ladies sign wasn't a big enough clue?
