Friday morning and it’s a bank holiday. By the time everyone else is awake, Dave has already been shopping in the search of a towel (he managed to forget his in his rush to get ready). However, this wasn’t a productive trip to the shop as he emerged from shopping with no towel but has bought everyone an Easter egg!! Cheers Dave!

Just before lunch it’s decided that a hire car would be more of an advantage to get to the afternoons destination of The Living Legend as buses are never on time and frequent enough on Bank holidays, and taxi’s would become ridiculously expensive after a little while! Straight into town and to the hire car firm that Dave spotted earlier on his travels to get the elusive towel! Once inside the office (if that’s what you can call it, more a portacabin strapped on the side of a garage!) Helen spots a white board clearly stating that they won’t provide hire cars to anyone under 26 or over 80. When the guy behind the counter came through, concern was voiced that the oldest member of the party was Dave who was only 25 (and a half is you want to be picky!) to which we were told that this wasn’t a problem and Dave was given a form to complete. Once this had been done (and Dave and the guy had finished a discussion about how Dave must be a really good technician because he works at Jacksons and has kept his job- unlike the majority of the Jersey technicians who lost theirs after the liquidation of the Five Oaks group, who have now been bought out by Jacksons) the form was collected in and looked over. No sooner had the guy started reading the form he pointed out that Dave was only 25 (not 26 as was stated on the board!). I know that Guernsey and Jersey do have their differences with each other, but it is in a joking sense, but really…of all the stupid things to say! First thing (other than hello), was the fact that Dave was only 25 and was told, ‘that’s fine’. He did then get told that he would make an exception in our case and ‘it’s only a guideline that the boss makes me follow, however, he does let me use my discretion’. Stupid man…if he had brains he’d be dangerous!

Citroen Picasso half full of petrol, brand new and the passing shots were, ’she needs running in for me’ and it’s off to The Living Legend for a game of crazy golf. On arrival there we realise that they may not do food, its 13:40 and no one has eaten anything at all today yet. A run back to the car and it’s a quick drive back down the hill we had just driven up to get some food at the pub we passed on the way there. After the absolute mountain of food (half of which was left and sent back to the kitchen- we should have really asked for a doggy bag!) it was back to The Living Legend and straight into The Experience. The Experience is basically an interactive museum and goes through the folk law and history of the island, quite interesting (so long as that is your sort of thing…from the reactions obtained, it doesn’t appear to be the sort of thing that appealed to both Dave and Karen. They seemed to find the whole thing particularly uninteresting).
