Drive thru  by happypat

Drive thru

This afternoon we went to have a research trip to Curry’s.
Jack came with us as he’s done lots of research for us on the different makes & models.
It was very interesting & loads of stuff to see.
Afterwards Jack wanted a Coke from MacDonalds so I did a drive thru for the first time in my life!
Jack was sitting in the back & took this photo.

Three good things:
1. Hand sanitiser after touching different machines! I never thought of the very slight risk until Jack said.
2. Digging drains at the bungalow.
3. The passing dogs are making use if the bowl of water I put down outside the gate.
You look to be a pro at drive-thru, Pat! Well done.

I wonder if you bought anything?!

Now you have started something.. What is Curry's? are you doing an Indian takeaway /drive through aswell..

Ha ha ! -- I love @julzmaioro comment - you must explain that Curry's do not sell curries ! I have only done a drive through at Mc Donald's with Gary by my side !! I always seem too short at the service hatch !!

Jack would have been laughing about teaching his grandparents a new trick! You are fortunate he is back in England and loves to hang out with you. I’m waiting to hear more about Currys too.

That’s so enlightening that friends from other countries wouldn’t know what Curry’s sell!
We learn something everyday & why would you not know anyway?
Curry’s is a very large electrical supermarket that sells everything you could ever need in the home. We did think of going to various if different places but just when for a reccy to Curry’s. To be honest they do great value, price match & knock money off for every third purchase so think we will probably stick with them. Jack has been our research expert & we can ask him to order online when the time comes. We need lots, oven, hob, fridge freezer, washing machine, dryer, warming drawer, built in microwave & dishwasher!
Say it fast & it’s not so bad. We’re going low end cost except for oven & hob. Hope that explains a bit!

Haha I too thought it was were you could by take away curries a nice shot

You’re catering for everybody’s beverage needs! I’m a fan of Samsung these days!
June 3rd, 2021  
Maybe, buying all that, you could ask for a discount?!
June 3rd, 2021  
@Dawn @quietpurplehaze Yes will expect a very good discount Hazel.
I think one of our choices is Samsung, ah yes the washing machine! I have a list here that Jack did with names, prices, reviews & where the Best Buy is.

A nice shot, Pat.

Wonderful shot to capture the momentous moment :)

@judithg Ooh just realised I didn’t add your name to the comment above Judith....re Samsung!
June 3rd, 2021  
Good luck with that long list of appliances!
June 3rd, 2021  
Finding normal again - but still armed with sanitizer! It feels so good to do the ordinary things.

I just found Curry's on the internet so didn't expect food dishes. Good to have comparisons. I love the McDonald's thick shakes and if I have a sensitive stomach, that's all I would want to have!
June 3rd, 2021  
You are one up on me Pat, I have never been through a MacDonald's drive through in my life.
June 3rd, 2021  
How fun! I love this comment stream too! Your Curry’s is a lot like our Lowe’s I think.
June 3rd, 2021  
Nice scene
June 3rd, 2021  
Cool shot!

@happypat very happy with my Samsung washer once we’d turned to sound off - every appliance has to tell you it’s finished now though apparently a lot of people like the tune!
June 4th, 2021  
I love it. Your first drive through! Although, I confess, I don't think I've ever done on in the UK. Done a few in the US though!

@judithg There was one model, I can’t remember which that shone a light on the floor, I thought that was ingenious. I read about that one while swotting up on specifications!

@jamibann It was quite an experience what with masks & gestures from the paying hatch I couldn’t work out why he was waving his hands at me.....meant move along to the card payer! 😳

Lovely shot, Jack. It feels so nice to be able to do the things we used to take for granted.
June 4th, 2021  
So funny! I thought you were taste- testing curries! It might be a fun idea!! Lol

My dishwasher (Bosch) shines a red light on the floor while it is running. And during the height of the pandemic, my daughter’s gas range died, and we ordered a new one from Amazon Prime (free delivery...and she has nineteen steps up from the curb to her front door). I think the use of drive-thrus in the States enables some of our bad lazy eating habits!

Where's the burgers and fries, you haven't lived.
June 4th, 2021  
Good for you
June 4th, 2021  
Hope you find everything you need, that's quite a shopping list
June 4th, 2021  
@ladymagpie No we didn’t get them...I do like a MacDonalds now & again myself but never got them through the drive thru!
June 4th, 2021  
@bkp The light sounds good, one of the dishwashers opened the door when finished....I dint think the one we have picked does that but will check.
Oh great just checked the specifications & it projects a red light in the floor when finished! I’m pleased at that!
