Back to Hull

For two days now, have spent more time than I care to remember in the McDs on the end of Cottingham Road. Tea is only 99p, but I have drunk a lot of it.

Sunny day in Lincolnshire

Currently sitting in Cleethorpes, having had a wonderful magical mystery tour across the Lincolnshire Wolds. Tea (99p) and air conditioning very welcome. I have an hour to spare - guess where I am going ?

Back to Bilbrough Top via Shiptonthorpe

Had a meeting near York, so the place off the A64 was appropriate, and the tea is 99p, sadly the coffee on the way up at Shiptonthorpe was 139p and despite the early hour took nearly 7 minutes in the Drive Thru..

Layover in Selby

Several hours to kill at the Three Lakes Outlet in Selby. Good wifi and an accessible socket adjacent to the door for the loo. Very friendly staff, could be one of my favourite McDs.
Been a bit amiss on recording stops over the last couple of days, but for the sake of completeness (and to illustrate how many hot drink loyalty cards I now have) in no particular order: St Andrews Quay, Hull (no sockets, good wifi), Shiptonthorpe (great wifi and sockets, but tea still too expensive @109p) and Bilbrough Top off the A64 coming into York (pictured) with an amazing queue out of the door on Saturday).

Ronald McDonald has arrived!

Still at Clifton Moor, with a white-faced man with red hair trying to engage with the kids - hard job when they have access to Samsung tablets. Funny he doesn't sound like the Ronald I met a few years back in the US, but the white make-up must be good, he hasn't aged a day!

Long lay-over at Clifton Moor

On a Saturday morning/lunchtime as well. Fortunately I have my earphones. Wifi still good, really appreciate the electrical sockets, time for another Tea I think..

Time with the 'yellowbellies'

Second day 'south of the river', not the Thames but the Humber, in North Lincs and North East Lincs (surely they could have come up with better names for the unitary authorities when Humberside split!).
So the on/off sunny delights of Cleethorpes.

The McDs at 159 Grimsby Road, has great wifi, really friendly staff, but sadly a lack of accessible electrical sockets. Tea is 99p as it is at the other restaurant (sic) at Meridian Point Retail Park, although the latter has the benefit of being closer to both the beach and the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway, which was in steam today!
