[spoilers] Spooks Locations

[Tea Lady]

Sorry been AWOL.

I went to Catch restaurant, Liverpool Street, London, the other Friday evening. This was of course the location for the H/R date scene in 5.3. Well I have to say that no wonder Ruth didnt want anything to do with Harry after he took her there. "I think its somewhere you'll like" .....yeh right Harry, nice one.

The area where the restaurant is, is basically in the lobby, at the bottom of some stairs, with some temporary hoardings up to seperate it from the rest of the building. The stained glass window behind the bar area is lovely and the food was lovely but the service was awful. It was hardly busy and we had to wait and wait for drinks. Also the most annoying thing was that because the restaurant was in the lobby, there was a bar area behind it. This was seperated by double doors but everytime someone went through to the bar area the doors were opened and the music from the bar came through so loud that you could hardly hear yourself talk for a minute until the doors shut. This wouldn't have been so bad but the music being played was like "Hey Ya" from Outkast and "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" by Wham!

Hardly a romantic setting. Come on Harry, you can do better than that.
