It was a miracle I didn't have food coming out of my nose at that moment. I know my eyes must have widened to the size of saucers. If memory serves correctly you were going to try to find "crackers" in the glory hole (hehehe) which we had just learned is not necessarily saltines or digestives (those are a type of cookie, very yummy) but a present of some sort given at Christmas that crackles when opened and goodies come tumbling out.
My favorite sign at Crufts on the bathroom door...No Dogs In Toilets...I was pleased about that but I never had stopped to consider there would ever be a dog in the toilet <VBG> My favorite round about...not the driving kind but a round about none the less was ordering a drink from the bartender at the Abbey. "May I have a diet soda please?" "We don't have diet soda." "Okay, I'll have a regular soda." "We do have a lemon lime flavored soda." "Do you have that in diet?" "No I'm sorry we don't." "Hmm, well don't you have Coke or Pepsi?" "We have have Coke." "Ok, I'll have a coke." "Would you like a Diet Coke?" stunned silence "Yes please, thank you."
