After finishing the blog last night and consuming too much alcohol in the process, we did what you normally do on the way home from the pub, we stopped to pick up a take away.
Before we even got to the street vender's stall, she knew what we wanted and had started cooking it. This led us to reflect on a number of incidents that had taken place recently (listed below) and this further confirmed our opinion that it really is time to move on.
You know it's time to move on when
1. Street venders prepare your food before you've even asked for it.
2. The dog at the laundrette jumps on your motorbike and won't get of until you've taken it for a ride.
3. The local pub has poured your drink as you walk in.
4. You have lunch in a swanky restaurant and the waitress recognises you from the internet cafe across the road.
5. The local off- licence know you by your first name, and have ordered a new car for themselves based on your purchases. In addition, they stock certain products for us at specially negotiated prices, they give us free sweets and the boss is always delighted to serve us, even if she is only wearing her dressing gown.
6. The local supermarket stocks cigars just for you and as soon as you walk through the door, they put a packet on the counter for you.
7. The landlady lets you extend your stay and pay her retrospectively.
8. You are recognised in the street by waiters from bars and restaurants.
Ref the video above, we tried to put this on last night but somehow failed (human error). It is one of the "live" artists from the street food festival, impersonating a pub singer.
