While the big banks are a weeping and a wailing…… I am waiting for the impact of this global meltdown to my own back yard…… And it will happen soon…. restaurants and shops are going to have to be leaner and keaner than ever to survive. I can lay down a few little local predictions….. last week we booked a table at The Cabin on Dawes Road (dont know why the husband did as it looks very uninviting). We turned up 25 minutes late which was silly of us on a Friday night and we knew there was always a risk in a busy restaurant that we would lose our table. However we werent prepared for the snarling manager who greeted us with much tutting and looking at the watch and shrugging of shoulders. We did what any customer should do and turned on our heels ……. I just hope as we waived goodbye that he registered how hungry we were, how thirsty for good wines and how keen to find a regular place to eat on our doorstep. The manager of Loco Locale certainly seemed happy when when we signed our bill and left full of his fantastic steaks and very best wines. We will definitely be going back there!!!!
