A meet and an ice cream

[loganberrybunny]

PublicIt was off to sunny (yes!) Wolverhampton yesterday (Saturday) for the inaugural edition of a new ponymeet. As it was again the warmest day of the year (max 21.8 °C) I had an ice cream in the station café. A mint Magnum, which was a little bit overpriced at £2.25 but extremely nice and refreshing

Yep, it's that shop -- actually, they've still kept the old "Another World" painting near the stairs. =:)

The downstairs room is now given over to approximately 3,000,000 Funko Pop vinyls, but upstairs was a treasure trove of geeky stuff. In all honesty, much better than Nostalgia & Comics, despite being part of the same company.

a massive (40-inch) Ty Fluttershy plush

Well, I know the second thing I'll be ordering when finances are less ashen. ^_^

Wspoons is quite hit or miss for food, I've found - some things, like the ham, eggs, and chips, or the steaks, can actually be rather good, whilst their burgers.. eh, disappointing. And the less said of their attempt to leap onto the pulled pork bandwagon.. =:P Nice to see they've finally codified that real ales are included in the meal deals, though, and now including Hogback's new cider, produced in conjunction with Aspalls - maybe not quite as tart as I'd prefer (Sainsbury's own brand vintage, ℅ Weston's, is quite a favorite, and a good buy at £2 for a 750ml bottle), but well worth enjoying nonetheless.

It's only the second one of those plushies I've seen. I assume they have to be imported specially -- unless of course it was actually a custom made to look like a Ty plush! =:P

I'm not a fan of most bandwagon-y foods, which helps. Pulled pork, piri-piri chicken, etc -- not really. Five Guys burgers? Pleasant but way overpriced. BrewDog beer? Their advertising puts me off. And so on and so forth.

I don't mind Spoons' burgers, though. They're not brilliant, admittedly, but they're cheap and edible and filling, and in some cases that's what I want.
