Jill and I wanted to see Billy Elliot, the musical and Chris didn't. So after tea we caught a bus to Victoria station. Billy Elliot is at the Victoria Theatre. We had just missed the 38 and had to wait quite a while for the next one.
We made it to the correct bus stop and, of course, when the wrong direction. We only had to walk around the block but it always works out that I go the wrong way.
There weren't any tickets for the show...which is what we expected. The queue for returned tickets was supposed to start at 6pm so we went next door to the Duke of York pub. They wouldn't seat us in the restaurant because we didn't have a booking. The place was practically empty!
At the bottom of the stairs to restaurant just outside the bar area was a little table and two chairs. I ordered two beers and Jill got out the sausage's we had bought (sliced) and we had a little dinner of sausage and beer. It was marvelous.
We went back next door to the theatre a little before 6pm and the line had already started. We were like 5th and 6th I think.
to be continued...
