I once went to a lovely chippy in West Lothian, and had a black pudding supper with salt and ?sauce? - a sort of runny brown sauce. It was bloody lovely. With a can of Irn Bru of course!

Seabag I?ve had enough of this. There?s nothing wrong with people eating what they like. You know me, I?m not one to judge when it comes to people making decisions about food. However, there are limits. How anyone could be poncy enough to mix a pub classic like lasagne with oven chips I will never know. Never heard of the like.

There?s a very specific chip too, get it wrong and oh heck are we in Wrong Town. It has to be a thin crispy salty and very fresh/hot straight out of the fryer Mc Cain type chip. Nothing but N O T H I N G else will do. No chunky, sweaty, wrapped, or a little bit floppy spud finger like ?chiuuups? are to placed beside the hallowed ?sarnia?.


Salad or ?salit? is allowable, but with salad cream and white pepper only.


The Oak Cafe in Honour Oak will serve this holy trinity in the appropriate manner. Being Cypriot he?s up to speed on such things. He does alf & alf with chicken curry too.

Perhaps you?re too distracted by the multitude of pizzas of different sizes to notice that chips is offered as an add on to lasagne at your beloved Wetherspoons


Or perhaps you?ve just got this weird thing about saying ridiculous things to be provocative in a weirdly inconsistent manner

Actually pk, I think you?ll find Wetherspoons offer chips as a side to most of their main menu dishes, if not all of them. Nothing weird about that. However, there are limits when it comes to mixing certain things. Personally, I am not a big fan of chips unless they come with ham and eggs, or fish. Call me old fashioned. That?s just how I roll. I don?t understand why you would want to mix carbs with carbs, it just seems strange.

I would always ask to swap my salad for chips when getting lasagne in Wetherspoons. This must have been quite a popular request, as they then changed the menu to charge extra for the chips if you wanted to add them to the lasagne. I havent noticed this 'add chips' option on any other meals. Lots of the meals automatically come with chips granted, but this is quite a unique option to the lasagne.


You'd get a much better slab of lasagne at a greasy spoon cafe than wetherspoons, and they wouldnt charge extra for the chips.

and yet you make some sort of weird issue about it


whilst ignoring the fact that tbe wetherspoons that you crave so strongly have decided that your despised pizza is the future


it really is rather pathetic (particularly the inconsistencies)

I?ll tell you what?s even more pathetic. You finding the time to question someone else?s motives behind their dislike of pizza and opinions on chips and condiments. And you call me pathetic? I rest my case.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
