Portrait was this weeks illustration Friday topic. Been doing a few of those !

Anyway Yorkshire was great, apart from the local pub which was quite frankly barking mad.
We went there on the first night for a meal and it was slightly odd as the manager was a black midget called Gary who looked almost exactly like the footballer Robbie Earnshaw. The waiting staff consisted of a chinese girl wearing a bright pink bra who could not speak a word of English and a 6 foot 4 bodybuilder skin head who looked like an eastern european hitman.

Well there were about 8 tables attempting to eat and it was obvious something was wrong as Gary was pacing up and down like he’s snorted a bucket of speed. It was a total disastor for everyone eating as the Chinese waitress didn’t manage to deliver a single thing to the correct table. When they did the food was either stone cold or half missing.

Gary ended up giving free drinks to just about everbody in the pub and it didn’t actually seem like they had a cook in the kitchen as when we sent the duck back as it was cold then Gary mysteriously dissapeared for half an hour. There was not one table in the pub that had actually managed to eat their meals all at the same time. One blokes Mushy peas were missing from his fish and chips, then Gary said oh they are here now, quicker than I expected. That was because the cook hadn’t actually defrosted them.

The best bit though on the way out. Gary on the phone at the bar, he said something like “oh the new chefs on the phone, does anyone speak Estonian ?”.
