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!

I rest my case

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.


Louisa.

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.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
