    Cost me an arm and a leg though (boom, boom)

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Thumbs up Afternoon Tea with Champagne at The Grosvenor in Chester...

    It was Del's birthday today, so took her for a 'posh' afternoon tea... Walking down the historic city centre of Chester:



    Beautiful and historic Chester Cathedral:



    Destination reached...



    Nicely decorated outside:



    Relaxing inside the Arkle bar and lounge, in rather convivial surroundings with a glass of champers and some strawberries and cream:



    What's coming next on the menu (for me - Del had veggie stuff))...

    Floured bloomer, crispy haddock, tartare sauce.
    Open rye, roast beef, pastrami, mustard and pickles.
    Baked pork and apple savoury.
    Appleby’s Cheshire cheese.
    Freshly baked plain and fruit scones served with clotted cream and strawberry preserve.
    Freshly brewed Tea and Coffee.

    Cakes, Del's sarnies and (Darjeeling) tea arrive and are quickly scoffed, lol (nice touch with the chocolate Happy Birthday card and candle) :





    Check out the "floured bloomer, crispy haddock and tartare sauce". Nice close-up:



    There's basically a whole piece of fish in there... Absolutely scrummy, as was the beef (should've taken a pic)! Never had this quality of food before in an afternoon tea. Not cheap, but bloody good, and we both had a very enjoyable afternoon

    Marco.
