At 12pm we headed towards the new part of town and went into Princes Plaza for lunch. There we got fish and chips and rhubarb pie for desert. A2 also got a Crunchie McFlurry (99p) from McDonalds. The fish and chips were from Harry Ramsden. Mum said they have a store in Glen Waverley. I got a large piece of haddock (₤3.90); mum got the lunch deal, which was fish and chips plus a drink for ₤5.99. She had haddock and Fanta; dad had cod and lemonade. The...

Mum saw a 2-course meal special at a restaurant for ₤6.95 somewhere around the Minster. We were going to go there for lunch, but couldn’t find it later.

Around the old part of town some of the roads were quite narrow and mainly for foot traffic. From a small bakery we bought rye and caraway bread for ₤1.60, and later got a traditional (beef and potato) pastie for ₤2 from an ‘award winning’ cornish pastie shop. The bread felt quite heavy for a 10cm x 20cm loaf and tasted a bit strange; a little minty. It also put me off caraway for the rest of my life. The pastie had big thin slices of potato inside. The pastry...
