  • We discover a cafe which only sells toasties including a "Mars Bar Toastie"
  • Pete is a candidate for replacing Big Ben as he is hungry on the hour, every hour
  • Despite being a reasonable sized city, Gloucester centre seems deserted on a Friday night (maybe they heard we were coming)

  • The cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral - lovely
  • Quotes

    Pete: "I am starving - it is at least 27 seconds since I had a full English breakfast"

    Nigel (to Pete as he is eating his fish and chips and we are just having chips): "How come you are not a fat git then ?"
    Pete: "I am working on it"

    Pete : “I wonder if the imperfections in this stained glass window are deliberate?"
    Steve: "Maybe it was made off-site..."

    David: "We got our MScs in 1985 .so 2017 will be the 30th anniversary"
    Pete: "That sounds right"
    Nigel: "That sounds right"
    Steve: "That sounds right"

    Pete: "I can't believe that Steve is so fascinated with his own business card.."

    Steve: "..just looking at what work I am supposed to be doing" Steve: "Russia is a very safe place. The close-protection bodyguard who picks me up from the airport hasn't shot anyone for WEEKS."
     
    Pete (at the top of his voice half way through spiderman): "YAAAWN"
