OH and I are going to the Isle of Wight on Sunday to have lunch at the Garlic Farm by way of a little celebration.

The last time I went there I took Wend and the last time he went he locked himself in the back of that van,

I went to the IOW once on a 'Genes' thing.
A table had been booked for lunch - then, once we'd eaten, they tried to move us - for the next lot.
Unfortunately,their organisation and greed left a lot to be required.
There was nowhere for people to sit and drink (this was a pub), so we refused to move, as we fancied some after lunch booze.
Was that the time you went, Sharron?

No, the only meet I have been to was in a pub by the dockyard gate.

I took Wend over as a surprise for Uzzi when she was clearing out her mother's bungalow and, Wend being Wend, she drank too much so U had to take her all the way back to Brighton
