Where did yae get the sign Al? Did yae take it way yae?
The story..................
8 of us arrived in Tongue in April this year, and headed for the Ben Loyal Hotel for refreshment.
It was 11:40 and we thought it was a good time to stop for coffee.
When we entered the Ben Loyal Hotel, we were met by a lovely lady with that good old Scottish phrase:
"We don't open until noon!"
"It's almost noon now"
"It's only 11:15 - we don't open until noon!"
(after checking watch) - "It's actually 11:40"
"We don't open 'till noon!"
Frank remembered that the Post Office sold coffees, so we went over the road and enjoyed our refreshment there.
I went back and told the owner that I couldn't believe that they turned away trade at 20 mins to 12 (they didn't know if we were in for coffee or lunch) - to which he replied:
"We don't open 'till noon!"
So - the next time I headed up there - I printed out the sign and balanced the camera on the tailpack on the bike...............
