Newcastle Trip

Just back from a two-day trip to the Newcastle office.

One of my colleagues who lives even further away than me was there too but in a different hotel so we met up last night and went for a meal. A little bizarre in that a waiter came up to the table at about 8 minutes to 7 and said "If you are still here after 7 o'clock it will cost you more..."

Apparently it was a badly worded attempt to say there was a discount for early diners! However what happened in practice was that plates were cleared and we were at the till in 2 minutes flat...
