    What another great weekend with your lovely group of friends. Looks like a great place to go. When you said it's Friday 5 to 5, I said it's Crackerjack too, I think only our age group would get that 😂.... Food looked fabulous. It's good to see different ideas and where to stay in the UK too. Well done both of you 👍

    Thank you! Slaw and his best mate wear swingers badges for a laugh 🤦🏻‍♀️ They would run a mile if anyone approached them 🤣 It’s become a bit of a joke in our group now, and when we spotted these shirts at a bargain price in York, they just had to buy them, and the other fellas followed suit like daft beggars 🤣🤣🤣

    Thank god the bathroom window was tinted. Imagine being on the 8:15 commuter and seeing Mr Slaws arse! Next time in York the other original House of Trembling Madness is worth a look. Part of it dates to 1180. Plus Mrs Slaw can laugh at everyone banging their heads when they go to the toilet. Have to look the place up as love Greek food and the place looks brilliant. Here’s another greek phrase for you “kali nikta na klanis oli nikta” which means goodnight i hope you fart all nights
