A parallel one; the mushrooms had just kicked in and Allan and his OH weren't actually in a lift, but had fallen down a rabbit hole, or, in these post Einstein times, even a wormhole.

It had often been said that Allan lived on another planet and now it was true. The hole had taken them to......

Hastily thumbing through his 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' Allan still couldn't quite place where he was.

Unlike most males, Allan was not afraid to ask for directions. Unfortunately for he and his wife the first person to appear was an android called Marvin

Who, who! What are you going on about, demanded Allan. Are you an owl or are you waiting for the rest of the Trumpton crew?

They were, of course, on the planet at the end of the universe.

Allan told his wife that he had heard that a highly recommended restaurant was somewhere in the vicinity.

Where he had heard this nugget of information is anyone's guess.
Could it be from Marvin?

Regardless, they set off together in search of an eagerly anticipated meal.

Well Allan was eagerly anticipating the meal but his OH my have been having second thoughts - considering her history.

Allan always was a selfish bu**er

As Allan was a selfish Butler, OH suggested he go and learn a few tricks from Carson. OH was fully aware that her morning cuppa was sadly lacking..........

...in all the essentials of the quintessential English cup of tea such as loose tea leaves, milk, sugar, boiling water (indeed, there was a distinct absence of water of any kind), teapot and teacups.

Allan's OH could only dream

....dream of dainty sandwiches and pretty, tasty cakes

:-D :-D

The loud rumbling in Allan's stomach brought him back to reality...dreaming of all that food had indeed made him hungry....should he learn from Carson who surely wouldn't allow any samples to be eaten or should he continue to the restaurant??

Allan decided to continue to the restaurant...but hold on...what's this notice at the door...reservations only....Oh No....had they booked...did their masks match their outfits......would there be dainty sandwiches or a good hearty meal so near and yet so far.......

Allan HAD pre-booked, and as there was a specially occasion looming he also invited a myriad of his international friends and colleagues

There was an Englishman, Scotsman, Welshman (you can see where this is leading) Irishman, Frenchman, an American, African, South Korean, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Chinaman, a whole plethora of nationalities.

There was, however, one missing which the door man was quick to spot.

"Sorry," he said to Allan, "You can't come in without a Thai"

But as this is a common occurrence we usually have one or two hanging around.

I’ll just call one over and add the cost to your bill.

"but I haven't got a bill," Allan argued, "I'm not a duck"

Allan’s OH didn’t want to get involved in the argument and was just pek ing around the corner

Allan groaned inwardly and waddled off to inspect the menu.

Allan was very proficient in foreign languages.

He was fluent in double Dutch and gibberish, and spoke French like a native of Borneo.

There was nothing that he could turn his hand to
