That was odd...

So, called the restaurant manager (thanks, returning English capabilities!), who asked me to come in around 14:00. I told him that I had planned to be at a protest but could cut it short, at which point he asked "The TEA party one?"

I responded in the affirmative, and he said, "Very good, how about we reschedule for about 16:30?"

I think I'm gonna like this guy.
