Today I shall blog! Yesterday, I went to football with my dad. We drove all the way to Wycombe, which isn't very far actually but it was a journey we made nonetheless. We made this journey as the two of us a Charlton Athletic fans and as I'm sure you deduced they were away to Wycombe. It is not the game about which I am to blog. It was a fairly bog-standard 2-1 to the mighty Charlton. It is the pre-match snack about which I am to blog. Traditionally before an English football game, one would consume some greasy meat and bread based food, burgers, hotdogs, pies and bacon rolls being key examples. Yesterday, we ordered two hotdogs from a fan, having queued for 20 MINUTES! Service from a burger van should not take 20 minutes, it should take about 2 minutes. I came up with a theory as to why service took so long. The two ladies behind the counter were offering a roll woth any combination of burger, bacon, sausage or egg for the paying customer. However, rather than having a selection of each cooking and ready to place in a roll, they could every combination to order. That may not seem an issue, but when each of the four burly men in the queue ahead of you each order a roll with all items plus onions and an array of sauces, it takes a long time for me to be able to order my humble hotdog.
I'm all done complaining about the time for my hotdog to arrive, I'll see you again on thursday.
Actually not thursday! I'll see you on friday.
