Credit Crunch – Gone To Lunch

Norwich Forum

Credit crunch?  Not in the Fine City of Norwich, it seems.  Last night at 6pm (wet, cold, January, Wednesday… need I say more?) I got turned away from no less than three big chain restaurants (Pizza Express amongst them) because they were full, with waiting times of 30 to 45 minutes.  My chums and I ended up just squeezing into a well-known pasta chain, also big, also busy.  The food was iffy, though cheap, but the service was tip top.  Perhaps everyone is putting on the Ritz to cheer themselves out of the gloom…
