Anyone felt the pinch yet?

Notice a good proportion of my hotels are quiet this week. But with the jubilee round the corner and pride the week after maybe folk are simply saving their trips for that.

Cant help but feel the media are driving a lot of it. They seem hell bent on us heading into a recession. Making people panic and stop spending.

They should be telling everyone its all gravy.

Only area Ive felt it is diesel. £154 to fill my van the other day. That's taking the piss.

On the hard shoulder the other day, the thing that struck me was the amount of costa cups.. (a few starbucks). Literally disposable income...

Tesco Middlebrook and Aldi Horwich we’re all out yesterday

i did notice a load of bald, angry looking 60 year old blokes in Rangers shirts stomping across the car park with armfuls of baby plums and beef tomatoes, so I’m thinking there’s more to this than meets the eye.

Lovely last night at a restaurant, eating in the moonlight by the open doors and cooling breeze. 
A blokes just been stabbed outside and we didn’t even notice. Ambulance and police are yards away, taped off area and everything is just carrying on around us as normal! 
Australia is great.

Very good. 

They are a bit hit and miss, but it's really not difficult to find them. 

Had a choice of both Moroccan and Spanish the other day. And Dutch and English.
