A HOMESICK expat flew 690 miles to the UK for a stay of less than three hours — just to have a Nando’s.
Mark Rofe, 34, yearned for their trademark peri-peri chicken and had no interest in seeing family or friends during the whirlwind trip.

He flew from Barcelona to land at Gatwick Airport at 1.50pm on Wednesday — heading immediately to the chain’s restaurant in the South Terminal.
After feasting, he got on the 4.30pm flight back — taking a chicken wrap to have on the plane.
Marketer Mark said: “Nando’s has a place in my heart, and my belly.
“I know it’s not originally British but I think it’s part of British culture — I mean Ed Sheeran even wrote a song about Nando’s.
“Nothing even comes close to it in Spain.”
The South African chain has no branches in mainland Europe.
The entire trip, including flights, meal and some sauces to take home, cost £95.39.
Mark, originally from Haslemere, Surrey, said his family “thought I was a bit of an idiot and they’re not wrong”.
But he added: “I have no regrets.”
Nandos fans say as Aldi stocks a replica range – including their peri-peri fries for just £1.49
