We had a very late lunch/early tea at The Mermaid in Burford today. Our table was near the roaring log fire and the food was not bad at all (wild mushroom risotto with garlic bread followed by apple pie and custard).
We also had accompaniment from the gentleman on the next table.
The Mermaid plays unassuming background music, they must have had a bunch of disks in a CD-changer; it was pleasant, all out of the ‘modern but classic’ genre of pop music.
And the guy on the next table hummed, sung and whistled his way through the entire repertoire in the CD library.
It was really funny. It could have been awful but thankfully he managed to remain in key.
Still funny though; I nearly wet myself laughing when Angels came on and in the best karaoke style he chipped right in. 🙂

Bless him. Good that he was in tune or it would have been rather embarrassing. I must confess to singing along to things though reasonably quitely and I hope that I sound ok as noone has told me off yet. I suppose it shows ones appreciation of the music being played.
I’ll check out the Mermaid, it’s not far and comes recommended ;o)
The Mermaid’s OK but not excellent, our choices for hot food were limited at 5pm on a Sunday. I don’t do food/restaurant reviews, it’s difficult to think outside the box all the time.
