The Coronation, the rain, cucumber sandwiches, Coronation Chicken, Coronation Beers. The rain, it’s The Great British event. My thoughts, my musings.

The mb05 Journal – Portishead 2023

03/05/2023 Leave a comment

When it was dark, it was calm and clear. When it was light, it was foggy. Especially past Newport on the M4. Portishead is really rather nice and it has an iBis and Lidl in the same building. The Marina is really rather nice with the fog.  

The Posset Cup and The Siren’s Calling. Both fine and just the places to muse about the world. Throw in a Premier Inn all your can eat Breakfast and you have a superb Beano. I need to go back and soon. 

Hard at it

#mb14 – Day 01 – The Start

I don’t want to start off by moaning but it’s mostly what I do. However the cool almost coldness of Autumn is off the list as I rather like it. Driving north on the M5, why aren’t the junctions and entrances to service lit up. It’s very easy to go straight past them with the attendant chance of an accident. When you check in online to Premier Inn you give them your car registration number, then when you park in the car park of Gloucester Quays you have to register your car so they don’t fine you £85. Two different computer systems not talking to each other, great. However the Costa Coffee next to the Premier Inn, excellent and is The Regal (Spoons) in the City Centre.

Couriers

19/03/2006 Leave a comment
You have to work, to earn the money to buy things.  You use the Internet to save some money.  They use a courier to deliver your goods.  They deliver during the day, when you are working, working for the money to pay for the delivery costs.  The courier puts a card through your door and takes your goods away.  Their depot is at least 10 miles away and on a very difficult to find industrial estate.  It will be freezing when you collect your goods.  This is City Link but it could be any courier.  I think there is a gap in the market here!!
