I really must remember not to get agitated by pubs that stop serving lunch at 2pm. It's a symptom of the 24/7 'have what you want when you want it' society we have become.
I remember as a youth being excited about Sunday opening. If I could go back in time I'd return to those days and give myself a big slap or Chinese burn for being so. I suppose after attacking myself I should then reveal the winner of the 2.35 at Haydock the following day so I can win thousands of moolah but as I have absolutely no interest in horse racing or betting I wouldn't know the winner anyway.
I suppose the 2pm thing annoys me not because I demand things to be open 24/7 but because I tend to get up rather late in the morning and want at least 2 hours gap between my breakfast crumpets and lunch. Serving lunch in pubs from 12 until 3 is surely reasonable? I suppose though I can't expect chefs to linger on for the odd post 2 o'clock order. If I'm trying to work as little as possible in life then why shouldn't chefs too? Let them enjoy life and have long siestas before the evening shift. I can always just walk up to the Co-op and get myself a tin of beans instead.
But wait... what's this? The Fox in Great Barrington serves food all day on Fridays. Hurrah!
