    Was looking at a restaurant in Taragonna that I fancied, El Posit.

    There's one in La Pineda as well, don't suppose you've been?

    Looks good.

    Am now at Sutton Scotney. I'd image this one ranks a lot lower.

    It does have a McD though, so one double big Mac meal later and we're off again!

    @Libby should know this one as it's on the A34 heading north.

    Yep. Always the last stop for a cuppa to get through the final stretch on the way home. Never use it in other direction obviously as too close to home.

    How long does Pompey take you from Swansea? 3-3.5 hours?

    It’s not ringing any bells but I can check. La Pineda is just a strip and by the time I get to the end I’ve been talked into and coerced into every bar going

    Yeah, about that. Four with the stops.

    Just eyeing up beer in the WH Smith as looking likely to be early for the boat.

    Mrs Chief saying I don't 'need' beers for the wait.

    Yes, I do! I neglected to put any in the fridge ffs.

    Just tell her that estrella Dam is an acquired taste and you need to acclimatise your pallet

    Don’t know it. Beaconsfield is the dream. Re-create that all over the country and nobody will holiday abroad again and the economy will boom.

    Don't think I've been there, must be newish M40?
    Stafford is good.

    Clacket Lane is mental, Nando's and everything.

    Anyway, here I am, in the queue and no beer. The bar on the ship mocks me until then.

    My Mrs left her bag in McD in the services. All her cards, purse, everything.

    She's a ****ing idiot.

    And shes managed to find her parents next door neighbours as soon as we get on the ship, so we have to talk to them all trip!

    I want to ****ing cry.

    Got an IPA though.

    Has she got her mobi or is that in the bag as well?

    Otherwise, she can turn the cards off via her mobile phone for some banks, I can with mine, it won't always stop them being used, but it's an additional security feature in the app.

    Yeah, done all that. <ok>

    She wouldn't have known, Iucky I was there.

    Which is always the case!

    Packed, did all the admin, drove the van, made sure we had everything.

    She sits there and then leaves her bag in a McDonald's.

    Your mission, should you accept it, is to sprinkle itching powder under cover of darkness...

    Not really the middle of the night. Get out and enjoy the Sun with the Germans.
