Deepest, Darkest Wales


We had a little trip out to Pembroke in Wales yesterday to collect a large garden ornament I bought on eBay. Called in at a small pub for lunch, where Hay had something called lamb cawl, which I'd never heard of before - it's basically a lamb broth. I found it a tad insipid, although Hay thought it delicious.

Chairman, addressing the girl at the bar: "I'd like to pay now. My wife really liked the lamb cawl - New Zealand lamb, was it?"

Later, we called in at Tenby on the way home.

Hay: "There's something about British beaches."

Chairman: "That'll be the rain and the wind."
