We were going to have dinner at O’Neils because it was cheap, but children weren’t allowed in and it was too crowded and too much like a bar. Instead, we went to another pub called The Grapes, which also had really cheap food. I got a beef burger (two 4oz patties, mushroom, onion rings and salad instead of chips)(₤4.89), A2 had an asparagus and brie tart with salad (₤4.69), mum got a mixed grill (4oz runp steak, 5oz gammon steak, chicken breast, sausage, beans, mushrooms and two fried...

We waited outside Wetherspoons for it to open for breakfast. Fifteen minutes later dad discovered that we were waiting at the wrong entrance.

The risotto was nice, although there was a lot of cheese in it. The pie was like a cottage pie with the pastry only covering the top. It was a bit too...

This morning, breakfast was cooked by the B&B owner. There was orange juice and coffee, bran flakes, corn flakes, the British version of Weet-Bix and the same muesli that Rhodes Hotel served. I forget the name of the Weet-Bix equivalent. I think it’s Weetabix or something. It has rounded edges, it’s more dense so easier to cut, and it tastes better. Then we were asked to order our hot breakfast items. He offered bacon, Cumberland sausages, eggs (scrambled, fried, boiled or poached), toast and tomatoes. We all had...
