For anyone who has the £5 voucher for Toby Carvery - here is your warning.

It has 1 day left and tomorrow they will all be incredibly busy. We went this evening and gave up fairly fast. Place was full of coffin dodgers.

For a living, I run banger rallies, and the particular Toby Carvery car park that we tried to park in was a disaster. We saw at least 3 bumps, we saw some coffin dodger reversing her car down the side of another, and the to the Volvo driver who took two spaces at the end and thought that no one could get into the space next to him - well I managed to get my Kia in that gap. Admittedly I was parked at about 40degrees up the embankment, but hell, i got the last remaining space.

So if anyone is going out tomorrow night - leave your nice car at home!

It's a Crocodile Dundee type place.

I'm mystified by the relevance.

Surely you can cook a mediocre roast in the comfort of your own home and then just burn a couple of tenners in front of the family?

Ah, my point is that I have seen bangers hitting each other in the car parks but I've never seen the same thing done with decent cars in a normal car park.

guess not. gave up and went somewhere else.

and before i get laid into about the choice of restaurant:

1. i am feeling extremely tight and making good use of a voucher
2. we were having dinner with my parents and as I'll be away for Christmas it was meant to be a nice evening out
3. Kia - my rally car done out in Martini colours. i mention it because some people know what my real car is and would heart broken if they thought it was parked at 40 degrees and in a bush.

Warning: Some of the places that the majority of people assume are stholes are, in fact, stholes.

Thanks for the advice, I knew that waiting until the last day would be a mistake.

Bang goes my Friday night then rolleyes

Good point, i'm sure the extra outlay will be worth it.

I'll tell the Mrs to get dressed up.
