The worst night out on LL (Liquorish)

[*Bob*]

If it's got to be 'off the peg', I like 'Eat'.

Nice sarnies. Job done.

[Louisa]

Pret a Manger gets my vote, why the hell cant the place opposite ED station be turned into one of those god damn it.

[Jah Lush]

Yeah! Boots is crap. Pret gets my vote and I like the coffee in there too. Better than a Starfucks anyday.

[Louisa]

I'm sending off an email to Pret homepage to petition for an ED Pret.

[MadWorld74]

easy Jahlush. Pret is one of the catereers that I have to deal with on a daily basis, and I dislike them.Boring and laiden with mayo and more mayo.

I'm still swaying from the idea of eating Boots food. But then again I do like arty, farty, whacky, posh or was it poncy food. I can't remember.

[Louisa]

whacky arty and farty.

[Louisa]

Try going into a pub in Bolton and asking for Mozzi or whatever you call, they would think you were taking the train to Liss.

[AnotherPaul]

Louisa you're making me laugh, your world view sounds like an Escher drawing in which the unhappy become less happy because they keep having unhappy thoughts which they can't get over, because they're unhappy (refrain).

As for the 'mezze' cock-up, that's silly and insulting. I used to like it in there and have had decent breakfasts but that was some time ago. Now that the 'missing something' has been suggested I know why I've never felt quite right in there. It is a corridor with alcohol.

(added) Sorry, what I said above was after reading page one of this thread, I'm a bit rusty at this.

Louisa I once went out with a guy from Hartlepool. I went to the oldest social clubs in the United Kingdom. They had a meat raffle on at the time I walked in; with my two fluro heads and five legs (might as well have done) so I know where you're coming from.

Thing is I don't live in Bolton thank the f*ck, but I do live in the South Eastern part of the country where we are ALL classed as whacky, arty and farty by people from the North, whether you like it or not.

When in Rome, Louisa, when in Rome.

[*Bob*]

Good point, MadWorld.

Dear Louisa spends much time on't forum denouncing those who like what they consider to be 'the finer things in life'. Fast forward to Bolton where she gets stoned to death for asking if there's a Pret-A-Manger in the vicinity.

It's always good to remember: just when you think everyone else is a bit of an arse and you're the voice of reason, there's always a whole load of other people who would think that you're a bit of an arse at well.

It's not a snappy motto, but I think it works.

I agree - in my day in the Navy circular spam fritters were known as Elephant's Footprints. Tinned tomatoes on toast = Train Smash, tinned Steak & Kidney puddings = Babies Head's. Fried bread, bacon, eggs, sausages, black pudding & beans = full house. Black pudding on it's own was not politically correct but flavoursome.

I remember corned beef fritters, unfortuantly. Until I found the eyelash of the cow in one of them, hence the veggie status for the past 19 years.

Corned beef should only everf be eaten as a hash.

I've just read through this thread and been most amused - all MadWorld wanted was a bit of understanding about the cracker and coleslaw - unless it's Boxing Day and you're watching re-runs on the telly, it doesn't cut it in my book either, and then to be charged - hilarious!

But then what happened.. we end up with the whole exiled-Northern-population-based-in-London outraged (albeit half-heartedly in my case). Cor Blimey Lousia, got to hand it to you, you could cause a fight in an empty room!

My friend goes into McDonalds and asks for a Cheeseburger without the burger and always gets it...

[Fizzy]

47 East Dulwich Road is actually Goose Green trading estate comprising of several business units but the caretakers house at the front is the base for the Southwark community warden scheme.

Good Lord Louisa, what is your problem! Did your mother not tell you that if you've got nothing nice to say don't say anything at all??

and what's the nice thing in this post?

or in most of the complaints on this thread?

[MadWorld74]

and pk what seems to be your problem? you're offending the ponces of ED today, you know! and that just won't do.

[the-e-dealer]

No vegetarien would go to a Gordon Ramsay he says vegetariens have no palate (pratt!)

[*Bob*]

Affluent Veggies: Don't let the OTT bums-on-sofas 'personality' off the telly make you miss-out on the dining experience.

GR's actually does a full-on vegetarian tasting menu, a delight to behold, by all accounts.

[Louisa]

Gordon Ramsay is a man after my own heart, absolutely great chef, and he does traditional as well as fancy pants modern muck.

[*Bob*]

I wouldn't have thought splashing-out ?150/head on a few plates of nosh would be your thing, Louisa?!

[Louisa]

haha (spits tea across keyboard).. There is no way on god's earth I would spend that sort of money on a meal.. But i'd quite happily let someone else spend it on me, so any offers to visit GR's will be warmly received Bob (hint hint) ;-)
