It was a shocking night out, even for English winter weather. Mary Poppins was being blown around terribly and her unbrella was turning inside out, so when she spotted the cheery lights of a small Pub she decided that she would see if they had a room for the night.
After a rough landing, she brushed herself of and approached the publican.
It was quickly arranged that she could stay the night in the room upstairs, but due to the late hour, the dining room had closed.
She could however have a meal delivered to her room.
Mary glanced over the selection and decided to have a small serve of cauliflower cheese, and as breakfast was included in the room charge she asked for two poached eggs with toast. This was also to be brought to her room at 7.30am.
Mary signed in and went up to her room for the night. She slept soundly and was ready to leave by 8.30.
She found the publican behind the bar and prepared to pay the bill.
"Lovely morning madam...Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, thank you," Mary replied.
"And was the food to your liking?"
"The cauliflower cheese was exceptional, I enjoyed it immensely.. But the eggs ....they were quite rubbery. Not nice at all," replied Mary truthfully.
"Oh...I am sorry to hear that. But thank you for your honesty. If you leave a note in the visitors book. we will look into it." said the publican.
"Ok ...thanks!" replied Mary,
Curious to know what she had written the publican picked up the book to find just one word.
"Supercauliflowercheesebuteggswerequiteatrocious!!!!"
