I enjoyed some salt and vinegar flavoured crisps on "Vinegar Day" which were served to me by a naked butler (OK so he was wearing a skimpy apron). But still, it was an interesting experience and one I thoroughly recommend! I followed this up with some chips drowned in vinegar from a dodgy north London chip shop in the early hours of the following day!
Sun the 22nd: Eclair Day!
I found myself at the forefront of the 22nd June London train nightmare (in summary - power line on main line north from London went down at 1pm. At 4pm first trains started to leave London via an alternative route. At 4:10 and some 3 miles from the centre, power lines on alternative route failed. 4:30pm trains arrived back at Kings cross. 6pm two diesel trains arrived at kings cross. 6:30pm all 500,000 travellers attempt to get onto trains. 11pm after cramped conditions and stopping at ever station between London and Durham - I arrived home). Hence, the Chocolate Eclairs (the sweeties not the cakes) that I had bought earlier formed part of my dinner during this traumatic time. And enjoyable they are, unlike gummy sweets (e.g. haribo star mix) the chocolate eclair is difficult to eat. The result is prolonged enjoyment and a sore jaw!
