Thanks to everybody for their suggestions.

We went to the East Z East followed by the Lass O Gowrie. Thursday night is
their regular quiz night and we won a bottle of wine.

Though painful at the moment, in the years to come we will look back and
laugh at the comedy taxi driver who took more than an hour to take us from
Ashton to the restaurant because he didn't know where it was and all his
covert frantic texting and calls couldn't help him. The address didn't help
him either because "there are 5 streets called that on my satnav in Greater
Manchester" - he would have gamefully tried them all. Fortunately we saw the
Ibis from a distance and got out, to which we got a "Oh, why didn't you tell
me it was that one. When you said the Ibis I thought you meant the Urbis".
To give him a little credit he'd turned off the meter. He obviously want 20
quid, but trying at the last to be clever he told us (after a quick count
up) "4 quid each" - he was well, well upset that the total for the 4 of us
was 16 pounds ;)
