So there I was eating my Sunday lunch with my dear old mother , who lives just up the road from the sea front, when, suddenly there is this terrible draught! The restaurant's door had been flung open by a distraught damsel , demanding to use the WC! She used the feeble excuse that her car had broken down! After finishing my now luke warm pork and congealled gravy, I left the restaurant to find, m'lud , what I would describe as a TVR Chimera , blocking, yes blocking a local's driveway! You would think that TVR drivers would at least breakdown in places that would cause less inconvenience!
Needless to say I felt I had to remonstrate with the owner and his young lady navigator, who, in the light of the day looked rather tasty. The bonnet was up, and blue tinged water everywhere. The remedy was obvious to me. She needed to take off her stockings/tights. Always gets me going...
Hope the AA man got them back to Guildford OK

Thanks montegogt, we got home OK (well on the back of a flat bed anyway!)

It was good to meet you and pass the time with a fellow tiver/pistonhead.

Judging from your comments I take it that the restaurant is not recommeded

Agree with you regarding the removal of stockings/tights, only she wasn't wearing any. Mrs aorchard has been duly chastised and will be wearing such items on all future journeys.

Oh, and whoever drove past in the blue Chim and didn't stop thanks

The restaurant was fine. It was the freezing draught caused by Mrs AOrchard's barging into the loo dept that caused the pre-cooling of my food!
As a matter of interest, they recommend booking 6 weeks in advance for Sunday lunches. It's strictly no smoking and no kiddies. Almost heaven in fact.
What time did you get home in the end?
I saw a dark blue Chim on my way home on Monday on the A3 at Guildford...
You going to the British Sportscar meet at Old Warden on 1st June?

If a Wedge driver had driven past they would have stopped!

Misunderstood about the restaurant, Mrs aorchard said it looked good inside. No kiddies sounds spot on !

Not sure about the meet at Old Warden at present, actually not sure what I'll be going to over the next few months :notetoselftogetorganised:
