Apparently mornings are not part of the day, because the dimwit on the phone informed that it was not yet "daytime" but morning. We then proceeded to have a conversation straight out of Five Easy Pieces. I inquired as to whether bacon and toast were on the morning menu and then asked them to put those ingredients together and bring me a side of chicken. I even tried for a BLT which proved too difficult a request at 10:30 AM. Needless to say, we ended up eating out and it was probably for the better!
I think you mean Queen Mary as the poor Queen Elizabeth sadly met her end in HKG harbor.
