On Friday we went to see The Hairy Bikers, we got to The Cliffs Pavilion in plenty of time luckily.
James had an amble on the beach before we went upto where the theatre is, we walk in and it was unusually quiet, there was an assistant walking about and asked if we needed any help, and James said were here to see the Hairy Bikers to which the bloke said they are at The Palace Theatre! Yes I had got the theatre wrong!
The bloke told us where the other theatre was, so we jump back in the car and go around to the correct theatre. We finally got there about 15 minutes before the show was due to start.
We showed the usherette our tickets and she told us where our seats were, the seats where she told us we were sitting were 2 rows for the stage - I was sure these were not our seats (as our seats were supposed to be in the dress circle up on the first floor) and sure enough about 5 minutes before the show started some people came up and told us we were sitting in their seats!
So James showed the usherette our tickets again and this time she told us where to go for our correct seats. To say James was not amused was an understatement!
The show started on time and it was really funny, you can tell that it was all scripted even the squirming by Simon as he was recounting all of his injuries (it was written by Bob Mortimer). They did some cooking and the smells wafted around the theatre which made us really hungry.
The show didnt end until 10.30 so by the time we got home it was too late to eat anything, luckily I had eaten a packet of melon & grapes before we left home.
The next day I made up for not eating any proper dinner by having 2 slices of fruit toast with jam which was really scrummy ;o).

Oh dear, imagine going to the wrong place! It's the sort of thing that happens in TV sitcoms! At least it wasn't a total disaster though since you had allowed plenty of time and the correct theatre wasn't far away.
I have shown up to hair appointments that didn't exist, and once reserved a week at the beach for the summer and told the couple coming with us that it was a different week entirely. Luckily I noticed with about three weeks to go, and they were able to work it out. You are not alone!
Mrs Flax LOL I bet your friends didnt let you organise the vacations after that one ;o)
At my hairdressers they always write the appointment down for me ;o)
