A group of diners who decided to set up an afternoon tea in a layby on the Portway in Bristol on Friday (April 22) have revealed that it was in fact a birthday surprise for a friend.
The group were spotted dining with a table, chairs, candles, picnic hamper and even a lamp, on the side of the road at about 2:41pm, leaving many wondering what on earth was going on. Motorists driving past honked their horns as the unusual spectacle.
And now one of the group has revealed the reason behind their 'spontaneous' side-of-the-road picnic, dubbing it a 'flashmob afternoon tea' and a birthday surprise for a friend.
