'O Dear What Can the Matter Be ..............

We went for breakfast recently at a cafe on the Coastal Highway, fabulous spot.
We had all enjoyed our food and were preparing to leave when Our Wend got up to go to the loo.
Well, quite sometime past and Chris said, were has Our Wendie got to. We sent Little Emily to go and have a look where she was.
"O dear what can the matter be Our Wendie stuck in the lavatory, she'd been there from Monday to Saturday nobody knew she was there"

Yeah, the lock on the loo side had broken and she was stuck. The owner was going at the lock with a hammer and chisel but it wasn't budging, then he finally got a crow bar and literally smashed the door in.
Poor Our Wend, she must have been stuck in there for a good 20 minutes.
Bit of a queue forming!

Got a free breakfast voucher for 4 out of 'em. All good eh?
