More Disappointment And The Odd Titter!

On leaving the Power Station, Nigel and Lu decided, as it was by then lunch time, to look for a Scooby snack to tide them over for a while. They perused and scrutinized each and every eatery in the vicinity very carefully, as this was to be their last celebratory treat before returning home.  However sadly, once they had made their selection of a chicken tikka and cheese naan and hyderabadi lamb keema paratha, with drinks, they found themselves very much wanting!


Does this look like something that you would wait patiently for almost an hour for, especially when the restaurant wasn't particularly that busy?  Needless less to say, they did not leave a tip or heap any praises.  Naming no names, questions, Nigel suggested, might need to be asked in Parliament.


However, to lighten their mood, Nigel and Lu decided to have a cheeky nip in to the very lovely, high end supermarket (the posh peoples version of a Tesco Express) that must be the local go to, for all the people who live in all the exclusive apartments on the site, a development where if you have to ask the price then you certainly can't afford, but must be in the millions!  It was an emporium where it was reassuring to know that even a millionaire might like to grab a bag of Monster Munch now and again .......


...... or perhaps enjoy a frozen, chocolate covered banana while watching Googlebox, however eating them in an unsuggestive manner might be a little, erm ..... hard if you know what we mean!


There was also no shortage of Charbonnel et Walker chocolates, not many to the box (or pound), but Nigel remembered Darrell telling him once that they were to be  nibbled slowly and savoured as their esquisitivity demands and not scoffed like a common or garden Hero or Celebration.


Then finally, it was time to get back on the bus, via the world famous Borough Market .......


...... where any comestible gaps left by their unfortunate lunch could be satisfied in abundance.


The market, happily, did not disappoint in any way, shape or form .........


...... with several considered purchase made to eat in the car on their way home.  Happy, happy days!

What a pity. At least you got some good stuff at Borough Market.
