Bitter Disappointment, Then Giving In To Temptation For Nigel

Poor Nigel, he has been looking out for his favourite builder, the one with the strong Irish accent, big smile and glasses for weeks, and we now strongly suspect that he has been moved to another part of the complex because his digger is no longer required in the area by us ……
Picture17Nigel had been desperate to give him the Builder’s Bar he had purchased in Last Vegas,  in the hope that it would lead to an invitation to the Builder’s Hut for builder’s tea and Hob Nobs, but alas it now looked like it was not going to be …….
Picture18And Nigel began to fret that the Builder’s Bar was in danger of going stale ….. and since it had travelled all the way across the Atlantic with him,  it would be most rude and an unforgiveable waste to allow it to therefore go stale and moulder ……
Picture19So Nigel came to the slightly disappointing but brave decision that he really ought to eat the Builder’s Bar himself to save this aforementioned unforgivable wastage …..
Picture20And …. in the end, it was indeed a most excellent and fortuitous decision, because Nigel had to admit to being very disappointed.  Whether the Builder’s Bar hadn’t travelled and acclimatised well to being in Britain ….. it just didn’t taste as wonderful as Nigel had anticipated and as such he said that if his favourite builder had found the bar as unappetising as he had, Nigel would have been greatly embarrassed ….  because truthfully it tasted like cardboard!  The much anticipated layer of peanut butter filling that Nigel had imagined was not in evidence ……it was all mixed up in the very dry biscuity base …… and the chocolate …. was not akin to Cadbury’s …… so no nom, nom, nom, and a possible embarrassing unwanted gift situation averted!!  
Poor Nigel …… he is now back to square one on his drawing board as far as an invitation to the Builder’s Hut is concerned and that mug of builder’s tea as elusive as ever!!!

Never mind, Nigel.
Maybe a gift that won't go off would be better. Maybe a huge mug, in which to put builder's tea, would be a good present.

Not to mention no hob nobbing either - deary me - sad events on that building site. It's a price one has to pay for globe trotting across the world - things are never quite the same after a Last Vegast experience. JantheFan x

Lucky break you didn't present that Builder's Bar as a gift! Don't fret, dear Nigel, I know there will be a way for your builder's tea and Hob Nob dream to come true......don't give up, just keep looking for an opportunity to come along and I know one day you will be in the Builder's Hut drinking tea and using construction jargon! ......Dianne
