Saw the Liverpool v Man United game, as planned. The score was 0-0 at half-time, which is when Ulverston town centre had a power cut. The TVs went black and all the lights in the pub - and along the main street - went out. A few of the customers drained their glasses and left; others tried to keep in touch with the game by gazing at their phones. One guy held up his smart phone for everyone to see, though it looked a bit small compared to following the action on a TV screen the size of a dinner table. Everyone was in a good mood, as the landlord brought out candles…
A bacon sandwich in the café at Booths supermarket is a thing of beauty. Lots of crispy bacon in a fresh, floury bun, with ketchup… washed down with a cup of tea (which, thanks to my Booths card, is free). Very tasty. Compare and contrast with a bacon roll in McDonalds: pale, limp bacon in a bun that may have been baked yesterday… or six months ago. It looks like proper bread from a distance; up close it’s just a McCounterfeit roll, and, like the bacon, tastes of nothing at all…
