And we reported on his complaints and how we then got a response from the county council, who then met him on site to see the issues. And now I say we've got an update. And he says, again, a massive big thanks to you and the fantastic Planet Reigate podcast.

Quote, I truly believe you have assisted me in achieving... my set-out mission. Verges and bushes have now been cut back so signs can be seen, and some new chevron signs have replaced the old ones that were bent or faded. I'd like to thank the Planet Rygate podcast for their continued support in this very important safety issue. I'm so pleased that I contacted you about this story.

And Martin goes on, I'd also like to thank the council for listening and carrying out the works that I've highlighted. and acted on the information I provided so quickly. And again, very special thanks to you, Peter, the main man. Martin, thank you so much. I'm still monitoring the progress, he says, and I'm just waiting for all the hedges and overgrown vegetation to be cut back.

Thank you, thank you, thank you from Martin. Martin, thank you very much indeed for keeping us updated on the situation there and also for letting us know in the first place about the problems that you'd experienced. And you know what?

So I was explaining what it was all like. Quite an Indian food reference there on the menu and so on, which was nice to see. A little bit different.

I had coffee and eats at Priory Farm on Bank Holiday Monday. Funny because what actually happened was on Bank Holiday Monday morning, I was browsing through my phone. and came across on the BBC website a recipe for, I wasn't looking for it, it just came up, a recipe for Turkish eggs. And I thought, I'd never heard of Turkish eggs before. What are Turkish eggs? So I had a little look.

I could make Turkish eggs. That sounds interesting. That sounds good.

and then i went down to uh to priory farm and on the menu turkish eggs isn't that funny how it sometimes works that that sometimes you you you know nothing of something and then you see it twice in a row so i had i had to have them didn't i and very fine they were as well and also i did some recording in brockham and betchworth as well for the planet reigate podcast where now we present the good time guide
