Hard Brexit now!

On a recent trip to Bath we pulled over to a RHS gardens south of the M25 for some lunch. In the restaurant I asked the waitress if it was always this busy (full of mums and babies chattering like it were an olympic sport, this was a Monday). She said sorry my English is not that good. So I asked the next waitress that came along and she apologised as this was her first day. So then I asked the 3rd waitress and she said... wait for it.... in broken English... I only work in the kitchen I don't do tables.
Seriously people... a trip to the UK these days is like visiting planet Vogon."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
