That's a very good point mate. I recall I won a grand on the Premium Bonds about 20 years ago. I went straight out and bought a Titanium exhaust for the MV I had at the time which cost the vast majority of my windfall. Never told the wife I'd won. Lol. However just as a footnote, I've been going to another biker cafe not a million miles from the place that I was originally referring to in my OP. Speaking to several fellow bikers at the 2nd cafe, many shared my views on Cafe A and said they wouldn't go back there now. Seems like mud sticks?
O'H Mates you all know we all need a good moan every now and then. Won't change anything we will still go to the watering holes pay the price its what we do. But a good moan makes us feel good. Plus i have a liking for the McDonalds coffee.
Sadly not. Believe me I have tried. Never contacted the old hen himself. Even last week it was their 50th anniversary and even that didn't work when I suggested there should be a celebratedly price drop. OH well just to family divorce them
As Joe said, we all like a whinge now and again. But overpriced or poor quality goods or service is sure to get us going.
I haven't been myself (yet), but at Glasgow Bike Night last night I was told that the cafe in West Coast Harley Davidson serves great food and coffee. Could be the perfect stop off point before heading over the Erskine Bridge and up the side of Loch Lomond for all points north..... no idea of prices though! J26 Café | Glasgow, Central Lowlands | West Coast Harley-Davidson® | West Coast H-D®
A favourite stop for bikers heading for a blast over the Duke's Pass is in Aberfoyle where the old hot roll van has been replaced with a permanent sit in/takeaway cafe, serving all the same coffee, rolls and more. A cuppa and the biggest blueberry muffin for under a fiver sounds good to me..... quite often!
A local place here called Cafe Racer has a great name and t-shirt and I was so looking forward to it opening after a long spin-up. Loved the pic on the shirt hanging in the window but couldn't swallow what seemed to me to be way-too-high prices for a walk-up, order at the window, take your food in a bag type of place...and what's a potato doughnut anyway? And its only motorcycle connection is the name and pic; it's not even a particular gathering places for riders. Yes, we're thrifty and yes, some might see it as tight, and yes, we spend on our bikes. But I love their t-shirt pic!
Missed it last night, but repeated at 3:00am Weds 31st on BBC 4 "How To Build A Cathedral" (Probably findable on iPlayer and Brit box as well) which will look at how they did it. Should be fascinating.
Sharron and I went back to Wickenby on Saturday, they were hosting a wing walking event. I'm not sure why its called wing walking cos you appear to be strapped in to something akin to a torture rack, but the people partaking seemed to have a lot of fun.
