We had to wait until 6.45 until it became light enough to go out for our walk. We went to the mountains, it’s still quite warm when you are walking.
We went straight to Lemar to buy some eggs. By this time it was nearly 8. They were shut even though the notice on the door said they open at 7.30. In the end one of the girls decided to open the door when she saw me. There were other people waiting too.
On the way back we noticed that Acmenya have put their Sunday roast up to 25tl. I am not surprised in the slightest as it is still good value. The last time we went there we felt quite ashamed to be British. A large table of about 10 Brits sat down very near to us and when the waiter asked what drinks they wanted they said “none, we will help ourselves to the brandy” and with that went and took one of the bottles of brandy that you help yourself to with coffee. The waiter said nothing…I was very close to saying something to them. That was just so cheeky.
For those of my readers who are not totally bored with my Dunelm voiles saga, it continues but now I have to say in a positive light. I had a phone call from Brian, Customer Service. He replied to the original email. Very nice he was too. He apologised, assured me that all my comments had been taken on board. The last poorly written email was from a new member of staff who will now receive staff training. I just hope I haven’t got her in trouble but in every job I have had as a Manager,correspondence was checked with a new member of staff to ensure they were up to the company standard. He also assured me that a new stock control system is being installed. Again I emphasised the staff at the Broadstairs store were very good and in no way at fault. He said Dunelm appreciate customer feedback or they are not aware of the problems and he is now sending me a gift card for £30 for the time and trouble I took letting them know. Very nice of them. It took a long long time and a lot of too-ing and fro-ing but we got there in the end, so at last I won’t mind returning to Dunelm at Broadstairs.
