Birmingham International Airport

Working in Birmingham with client. A good day. Arrived at airport for the homeward journey with plenty time so a chance to get some food. Not much to choose from and all a bit grubby. When a table for one was asked for in the largest restaurant I was told that there was none available at present and would I go to the bar. The place was empty. My reply to the waitress was a firm but polite no. Further along the concourse, at an even grubbier bar, I ordered a coke and nachos from the menu. The reply came, could I wait 20 minutes as the 'chef' was on his break. The local time was 17.50! I write this at the airport, hungry and bemused. Birmingham International Airport - what a joke.
