When your favourite local eateries close, or change hands? We have just heard that the carvery where we often go for high tea with DD and family is closing. It is always busy, the food is always decent and reasonably priced. It is to open as "something else" (no one seems to know what yet!). A country pub we often use when out walking closed in October for refurbishment and has now reopened - as a tapas bar. The portions are small and it is horrendously expensive. Another country pub just up the road from us that did a very nice food and a good Sunday lunch - again busy right through the week - has been sold to a chain and has had a series of awful reviews since it opened a few months ago. We came past on Saturday evening at around nine o'clock, the place was open but the car park was empty! Never seen that. I know I am having a moan, but I feel that my options for straightforward, reasonably priced food are being whittled down alarmingly. I don't always want to eat in a posh gastro pub, and that seems to be the way that things are going. There are still a few "oases" (spelling), thank goodness.
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
