The Quayside, Whitstable

on a rare day off for both of us we set off for a visit to our own very local tourist trap,I went on about 15 mins ahead,entered the pub just after the entry of a group from a visiting bowling club(blazers,badges etc,unlike myself,should have been no confusion).I now sat at the bar quietly since they were busy dealing with the bowlers,some ten minutes later during which time the member of staff who had been painting outside came in to help out but niether he nor the original member of staff ever made any effort to acknowledge my prescence or even make eye contact and then proceeded to serve three people who came in after myself.at this point I neatly folded the note I had been hopefully grasping in my hand pocketed it and walked out.I will not be going back despite only living five mins away
