Is Oodles Noodles shut?
Every time I've gone to the Boro I've fancied going there for a meal it's been shut. I can't find anything online.
Missed opportunity (can anyone help?
Basically, I went to Chester Zoo with Caledonian travel. On the journey I was sat alone, and was happy to have all the space, however a few stops later an old man sat down next to me as it was his seat. Me M (24) was not in the mood to be social but I am also not a dick so I engaged with him when he spoke to me. After a while we got to chatting about politics, AI, life all sorts. He told me that he was alone after moving up to Boro for his dying sister as when he moved she died.
​
Anyways we thank each other for the long chat and wish each other well, but I didnt get his number so I could stay in touch, it is now a month later and I am writing this at work as he keeps popping into my head and making me feel sad, I feel like I let him down by not reaching out and making sure he still has a bit of connection to others. He does volunteer at a charity shop so I'm sure he will be fine; but I wish I gave my number.

If anyone knows any Peter's who live in Teeside, he had a posh accent, from down south. Please help me get in contact with him.
