I went to a pop up cafe today for lunch with a friend. It's a cafe cum art installation which has opened for one month only in an empty shop unit in town. This 'item' was holding the salt and pepper set. Eagle-eyed amongst you will spot Action Man's body under the dress. I ordered the ruffage plate (spinach, beetroot, pumpkin seeds and feta) with the talking special. The special involved being quizzed on whether we had ever been to any sort of summer fair as children (it turns out my friend Katie once went to a school fete dressed as a washing machine whilst blowing bubbles through the door...) with a follow-up in which the waitress told us about her road trip to Memphis.
(I'd of told of the time I entered my scones in a fete competition and was disqualified because they were too good for a child to of done on her own - bloody cheek)
@jannaellen Well the transvestite sipping his tea looked quite comfortable.. @fueast Forgot about that - St Leonard's walking Day: best dress, posey of flowers, attached to other children by ribbons and the A6 closed.
@fueast I don't think I may have retired at about age 4! I keep expecting @happypat to treat us to a Bruccianis pic - there was a very regular flow of 'dinner money' from me to them at one point!
@judithg Well there is only one answer to that I will have to go & get a photo of the famous Bruccianis !!!! Still much the same by the looks of it & it took some of my pocket money too although we weren't allowed to go in there on our own after school in our school uniform !
Yours sounds an interesting cafe & must have been very entertaining having a transvestite action man dispensing the salt & pepper !!!
@meisen325 Well there was the transvestite cruet stand and a transvestite customer (I don't believe he's a permanent installation but you never know!) He did look very relaxed which must often not be the case - it's sad that this off the wall, everything goes sort of place is so temporary!
@judithg@fueast I shall make it my mission to go in there specially next time I am in Preston & do a Egon Ronay style report !!! Also take some under cover photos !!!
