"Tills aren't ready yet" at 10am. - I left empty handed as I was there for a guided walk "Drinks aren't cold yet", "we've run out of juices" - offered some cordial that was diluted with regular (warm) tap water and charged for it, "the sandwiches have all gone bad" - at 4pm on a Wednesday.

Was a bit wierd overall. Not...
