I can’t get over the price of eating out. Is it just me, or have prices increased to crazy amounts? With Valentine’s Day approaching I was checking out menus and prices. First of all, I found my local go to restaurant is charging £80 per person, which with drinks and service charge you can say

I am sometimes wonder how companies managed to make rooms and buildings accessible, especially when they are old buildings. Since Dave got his wheelchair, we are realising that they don’t. In the last few months I have been to a hotel, where you could get the wheelchair into the door of the room and into
