In a fit of consumerism, last-minute desperation and forward-thinking I bought a kettle BBQ from Morrison's this morning. Fifteen quid. Reckon it'll last even the one grill session it needs to manage tomorrow? As I paid for it the checkout lady managed to drop her chair from max to minimum height accidentally and loudly exclaimed 'shit!' followed by looking around sheepishly

I told them when i got through next about it and the guy put me on hold to tell the office, could hear them pissing themselves laughing when he put me back on. |

Pro hint - there's a plastic tub in the bottom ash catcher that you're supposed to use to scoop charcoal or something. Take it out of the ash catcher before you use it or it'll go melty melty. It being gone midnight it's perhaps too late for that advice. |

Ah - you can get the X5 to go to Bicester Village! Although, I'm not sure why you would when you can get the train straight from London and the east-west link is at least five years away. |

There is another Travelodge in Bedford that's got rooms for that night. It's a couple of miles from Grim's so you'd be taxi-ing there and back but I can't imagine it would cost more than a few quid for a private hire. https://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/273 ... 2F17&rooms[0][roomId]=3ciko676njs93l&rooms[0][adults]=2&rooms[0][children]=0&rooms[0][extras][0]= |
