I'm thinking of setting up my own retro 70's drinks stall on GG Saturday afternoons. Snowballs with glazed cherries, babychams (served in vintage bottles). Ahh the hipsters will flock to it, "what are these artisan street drinks the working classes used to drink? Maybe if we drink them we can be even more ironically cool"


And yes I'll charge triple market price.

Guys thanks for the humorously negative comments. On a more positive note the sign is not totally dark. The response rate for this thread is high relative to the average in the Lounge. Controversy may be thought of as the prelude to great thing.


Let me explain a bit. I gather that the word soup is not very fashionable. And perhaps it alludes to the historical phenonmenon of soup kitchen. However, soup is not a bad thing either. A hot broth with chopped vegetable and diced meat flowig down the stomach, accompanied by good quality bread at lunch time can be nutritious, tasty, convrnient and cost effective for sustenance until dinner time. There are many varieties to suit people of different tastes, lifestyle and energy requirement. Soup can also be seasonal. The Spanish has been making cold tomato soup for centuries.


But, interest in hearing your views !

I genuinely think it's a great idea. I love my own home made soup. You need a title like a soup barrista type of thing. If there isn't a term already just invent one.


Soup is great but the bread to go with it is important too. I'm sure you can take this idea and soup it up a bit.


I'm assuming the actuary thing has become boring...

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
