EXCERPT FROM GORDA'S SUPER-EXCITING, ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS LONDON ADVENTURES!
Okay, I will tell y’all the truth . . . I got kicked out of Bill Wyman’s Sticky Finger’s restaurant! Yup! It is the absolute truth!
The last time, I was in London, I did not know about the restaurant. When I found out about it later, I was so disappointed! I could have easily gone!
Anyways, 3 years later, I was back in London! And, this time, Bill Wyman’s Sticky Finger’s restaurant was on my itinery. I had started planning my trip, even before I had left my house. From my home computer, I had done a search. So, I already knew what bus to take and everything. Later at the hotel, I asked the consierge for the right bus stop.
So, early one morning after breakfast, I got on a bus, and went in search of the famous restaurant. Once on the bus, a local woman told me when to get off and pointed me in the direction of the restaurant. I walked right pass it and did not see it! (I guess I was looking at the street signs. I don’t know how that happened.) I turn around and I see the huge Stones’ logo!
There it is! Sticky Fingers!
So, I walk in and . . . the guy at the bar says, “I’m sorry we’re closed. We don’t open until 11:00.”
So, I go, “Hey, well, can I just look around and take some pictures?”
So, he rolls his eyes with this bored look and goes, “Sure, go ahead.”
So, then, there I am looking at all the memorabilia, and I get to the guitars, and I ask this other guy to take my picture. He does. Then, I take some other pictures on my own.
Then, I ask the guy if he could do me another favor and take my picture in front of the Rolling Stones logo. So, he sighs, in a really bored and annoyed manner, and reluctantly agrees to take my picture. We go outside, he takes my picture. Then, he hands me back my camera and says, “Please don’t ask me for any more favors, I have work to do.”
So, we go back inside. And, I sit down at the bar, and ask the other guy to take my picture in front of Bill’s gold records. He does. He also lets me buy a t-shirt and drink a Coke even though, they are not open yet. So, there I am enjoying my Coke with ice. (Although, geez, Bill? You don’t have A.C.?) Anyways, the cook, this black guy comes out and introduces himself and shakes my hand. And, then, he goes back to the kitchen.
And, then, there I am just sitting there. Relaxing. Waiting for them to open up. I’m really not hungry. I just had breakfast! But, I do want to taste the food. Maybe, I could get it to go?
So, I’m sitting there absorbed in my thoughts. When, the other guy, the one that took my picture by the guitars and the Stones’ logo says in a very snotty tone, “I’m sorry, but you cannot be here. We are not open yet. You must leave.”
So, I go, “How about I return in an hour?”
And, he shakes his head, rolls his eyes, and as if talking to a young unruly child, he says, “Yes. Come back when we’re open.”
So, I jump off the stool and walk out.
I was planning to go back and taste the food. But, what was I going to do for an hour? So, I decided to hop on a bus and go back to downtown London.
Tomorrow: Gorda dines at Don Fernando's, a Spanish restaurant situated next to the train station in Richmond. (They made me pay for my meal beforehand, because they thought I would leave without paying! FOR REALS! I'm not lying!) |

Wow, I don't think the guy was at fault, Gorda. Have you ever heard the term "ugly Mexican-American"? Please exhibit better manners next time. |

thanks for the laughs, though.. |

If I read this story closely you have not been kicked out but just walked away! But I am with you! You shouldn't stay in that hamburger place one more minute than necessary. |
