We had once again an excellent meal at Muneroys tea room Southend on Monday,i thought i woudnt manage to eat anything after a weekend on the swally, I was with a party of four and everyone cleaned theyre plates well done again Francis, Iain, and staff,hope to be back again real soon.

You know, Mr and Mrs Hill are very patient, and tolerant. They would need to be given the number of times that people spell their names wrongly! Now - I know that they would never dream of pointing that out to forum members ... diplomatic souls that they are.

However, I have no such compunction! And although you were the most recent, abbey craig, you are by no means that only one to use 'alternative' spellings.

Mrs Hill = Frances (not Francis ... that is the boy's name, as in Francis Lee - the footballer, and the only one I can think of right now!)
Mr Hill = Ian (not Iain ... a perfectly acceptable spelling of the name, and the more traditional Gaelic translation for 'John', but one 'i' is sufficient for our Arkwright!).

geez a brek mary your doing my napper in
