Trolley 478

Captured in another part of the same car park as the previous trolley. Returned to the stack at M&S where I was actually able to push it into one of the two stacks. No pound coin this time.

Starting to think about the celebration for 500 trolleys. Home or away? Epsom or London? Beef or other? All kinds of possibilities.

What about the place at reference 2, passed many times on exit from the Wigmore Hall, peeped at once - but never sampled? The first restaurant I have come across in this country which sells its meat by the 100g. In fact the only other place ever was a restaurant just outside the Porta San Gallo, which sold Florence steak by the etto, that is say, according to Bing, about a third of an ounce, which seems rather small unit in which to sell a steak which must have weighed, with the bone (no doubt in the price), more than a pound. In any event, much better than anything we have had since, and while it looked dear enough on the menu, the bill was not that strong. And I was allowed to take a puff after our meal, it still being just about warm enough to eat outside. While I think at the Beast it might be, with a déjeuner arrosé easily coming in at well over £100 a head. I was also surprised at how short their menu was. Maybe the place at reference 3, where we last had a Florence steak, is more in our league.
