Both kids were out last night and so the current Mrs M and I decided to go out for a meal.
In a small village about ten minutes drive away, there is a pub which is reknowned locally for its good food and its ambience and so that’s where we ended up.
Being a weekday, it wasn’t at all busy and so we easily got a table and our food was delivered quickly.
Delicious it was too.
We chatted over coffee, and Mrs M asked I’d go there again.
“Oh, I doubt it”, I said, “It would annoy me too much”.
She looked confused. “But it’s really nice here and the food was lovely. I thought you liked it”.
“I do. But… they’ve used the possesive ‘your’.”
“What?” She looked even more confused now and so I pointed to the red painted wall behind her, which had been niggling me throughout the whole meal.
Professionally signwritten – by hand – and painted with faded gold lettering, indicating it had been there a long time, it said:
“Enjoy Yourself Now. These Are The Good Times Your Going To Miss.”
I hope that you told them? I would have ……or as some might say……I would OF !
I was going to mention it to the waitress, but Mrs M said “Don’t you dare!”.
I didn’t dare.
Perhaps Mrs M should face that wall next time then you could watch her enjoying herself.
We’d get thrown out!
This was very intentionally done as i read it exactly what it supposed to mean.. I got nothing until I saw your reply about the grammar
As English is your second language, I think you can be forgiven for not spotting it.
Yeah. That would have bugged me too. Did you leave a tip?
I did, because the food was good and the service was excellent.
And then I deducted a quid for bad grammar.
There is (was?) a chap who had a moment of fame, climbing up his ladder and correcting misplaced apostrophe’s apostrophes. Whatever
Yes, I remember him… vaguely.
