Despite being a.week day, there were.quite a few bikes and.sports cars and a few pensioner day trippers . Andy started blathering with a chap on.an XJ while i went for drinks. As I only needed a cup of tea and a coffee (both self serve), I popped in to one empty line , got the stuff and cut ahead of the queue waiting for scones, cakes, chips etc. Just as I was about to complete my overtake, Darby and Joan pulled out and headed for the till!
