Machine.

We don’t go out for a meal very often, as a family, about once a year or much less.

I just rang to book a meal for us and for my grandson.

It was an experience. I had to keep ending the call and dialling again, until it got it right!

It was all done by machine. I suppose that shows the success of the restaurant.

I had to press what day I wanted it, then how many adults, well there is only 4 adults and one child. But I started again, so that I could hear if there was a child option, there wasn’t.

I had to type one for Lunch time, or two for dinner time. I chose dinner.

The time had to be in the 24 hours.

The machine said, “If the booking is over 6 people, I will need your bank details, no money will be taken from your account, but if you don’t turn up, then £5 will be taken out for each person that it was booked for, do you agree these terms? Press one for yes, two for no.” I pressed One for yes.

The machine said, “Your booking is booked……” And the machine went on, “You will get a text with all the details of your booking, goodbye.”
