Ended up buying several books from Fokliedave (I presume it was you - Helperby Fiddler is wonderful!),

Not me, I haven't been to Whitby for many a year. Clearly an imposter. I shall eventually catch up with the person, never fear. (I only do S/hand books - more or less).

I just want to make sure I am understanding SRS correctly. You went into a restaurant and started eating your own food?????

What an excellent idea. I think I'll try it in my local pub. After all it's a prosperous place. I'll get some beer in the supermarket where it's about half the price and drink it in the pub.

It might start a trend.

On the other hand I might get asked to leave. And trust me on this one, the landlord will not be embarassed. This is Yorkshire.
