Oh well!! Everyone’s different, eh?!

I enjoyed watching it at the time, which has to count for quite a lot I think, but the more I think back over it, there more I pick faults with it.

I still stand by my opinion of 1450 though. £42 for a poor starter, two average mains and a couple of drinks is way overpriced.
