Holiday Day one

Left home about 11am, no point in rushing, I’m on holiday! Got to Cirencester via the Fosse Way, with a few detours due to me missing a few tunings the main mistake being missing my exit from the M1 but that didn’t turn out to badly as I was soon back on track. I drove through lots of lovely villages but decided not to stop until I got to Cirencester as I had made a late start. The town seems quintessentially English, if a little posh ! I wandered into the Tourist Information office to enquire about a B&B, they asked me how much I wanted to spend, I made the mistake of saying cheap! I was informed that they don’t do “cheap”. Oh well! I decided to look for my self found a room at The Black Horse a nice old pub with internet access although it turned out that wasn’t free. Went for a wander around town the old church St John the Baptist is very beautiful it’s one of the great “wool” churches of the Cotswolds. I went into a charity shop I spotted a nice shoulder bag, £4.99, I totally confused to lady in there by giving her a twenty pound note and asking if I could I could have some pound coins in my change, this had her totally flummoxed, for a start she gave me a tenner, a fiver and a penny, right of course, I then asked very nicely if I could have some pound coins instead of the five pound note. She then proceeded to fish around in the till and give me five one pound coins and the five pound note, even when I pointed out her mistake she wasn’t too sure and didn’t seem to believe me that she shouldn’t give me twenty pounds back.
