We went to dinner and had a fancy three course meal with the main dish being the famous fish and chips. Unfortunately I missed dessert because I had a play to attend. I should not say that it is unfortunate that I missed dessert because the play was incredible and the theatre itself was interesting.<\/p>\n<p>I learned that an intermission is called an interval in England and they sell ice cream during that time. I bought some. We then took the tube back to the hotel and I found that my roommates were already asleep.
