Paul Daniels never actually sawed Debbie Mcghee in half.

Pity.


Mel Blanc, who was the voice of Bugs Bunny, was allergic to carrots.

I think this one is a myth - he used to crunch on carrots to get the sound effect, and them spat them out... but only because eating it would leave a long gap in the dialogue.

Oh-kay, prepared to stand corrected John K.


For once, my BS button wasn't switched on and I thought I was *reliably* informed on this by a local historian (and not a bloke dahn the pub either).

Naff is an unpleasant naval term for a woman who is considered perhaps 'uncomely'.

It's an acronym for either 'Not Available For Fun' or 'Nasty As F*ck' with a slilent not to say meaningless 'F' thrown in.


It really all depends which bloke down the pub you choose to believe.

    • Agree with @Sue the Dog is awful-nice building awful food. We like The Rossendale and Watsons
    • There are so many variables. Good chefs can having bad nights, post-Brexit staff shortages, your dish might be brilliant, your friend might order something that's inedible. In the end I think the best option is just to go to the restaurant which has the best overall reviews. If all the reviews are bad then avoid, but even if all the reviews are good that's not a cast iron gaurantee. 
    • The trouble is that pub management and chefs are constantly changing, so what might be fantastic on one occasion  becomes terrible a short time later, and vice versa. Two of the worst pub lunches I've had locally were at the Dog in the village and the Plough, but both those were some time ago. We had an absolutely appalling Christmas lunch on Christmas Day at The Cherry Tree, which was also exorbitantly expensive, so unless their chef (I use the term loosely) has changed, I wouldn't advise eating there. The menu looked amazing. We thought we would treat ourselves. Never again 😭
    • If you've seen the original longer post then you'll know that you've taken that out of context. I don't charge but didn't feel I even needed to say that – you've made it sound like I do charge and that's why I deleted this part of the post saying I don't charge. When I read back what I'd written it sounded like I was defending myself against criticisms that hadn't even been made so i cut it out. And now you've made that kind of criticism anyway I should've left it in.  What do you mean "not charging people to read your reviews of their local restaurants."?  You make it sound like i'm sneaking into SE22 from somewhere else. I live here - they are reviews of my local restaurants!
