I was in a Beefeater recently (the decision was out of my hands). TBH it's not cheap - surprised you didn't consider it to be a poncey rip-off joint. Needless to say, the food is abysmal.

We're getting dangerously close to 'soup in a bread/loaf bowl' thingy


Where's Bob Blubber when you need him


Mind you all this is old hat. They do chicken with fried potato sticks in a box, near to wher I live. Yeah, no knife of fork, just eat from the box and when you're finished, chuck the box on the floor.


It's amazing, there's a round 'cheese on toast' version with the same concept. It's not quite so popular in that when you order it you have to speak, rather than just point and grunt

I remember back in the early 80's The Plough doing Sausage(s) & Chips in the Basket..

Plastic mock wicker basket to stop the vingar running through..


2 Sausages and Chips ?1.20 ish if I remember correctly. sounds expensive for 1980

I was in the Communion Bar on Camberwell Church Road early on Saturday night. I ordered a bottled beer and was offered a fecking jam jar to drink it out of. I mean, really. A jam jar. Do I look like an idiot? Don't answer that. I asked for a the correct drinking vessel to drink it out of and got the glass I should been offered in the first place. A jam jar... so bloody wrong.


Later I nipped over the road to The Hermits Cave (a proper pub) and drank lovely beer out of a straight glass. Some lovely cider too. It's good in there.


Cheese is for chopping boards. Nothing else.

Miss the Hermits, was my local for years. Go teary eyed when I pass it on the 12

There are some especially amusing ironic drinking vessels to be had in Pedler, if you like that sort of thing.


A jam jar - which manages 'the double' of being both unpleasant to hold and to drink out of - offers nothing to the experience of having a drink.. with the added bonus of making you look like a tit.

The cool kids love this stuff though. Or do the 'right on' establishments just like to offer vessels smaller than a standard pint glass so as to sell less for more (in a cool glass obvs). I will have to stop typing on here as it's making me go quite 'road rage' for a totally disproportionate matter.

-and refreshment-suitable. Hartleys for a stout, supermarket jam for lager, Bonne Maman for craft beer and Roses Lime for a whisky and splash.


Maybe pickled eggs in retro egg cups, crackling in a toast rack and refills via a four pint teapot.


Breakfast of champions.

    • 100%. Many of the problems that Labour have (after 1 year in office) are down to that 14 year legacy. They have very little room for manoeuvre. UK debt is around £2.925 trillion and the costs of borrowing are rising. The government is at the mercy of the bond markets. Meanwhile many services are on their knees and people are demanding investment.
    • Heya - not sure where to ask this, but I have an appointment on Bellenden Road tomorrow and in order not to miss too much time at work, I was going to work from a cafe nearby. Is there anywhere that would allow this for like an hour? I'd just be tapping away on a laptop and buying a coffee etc.
    • I'm getting into golf and have played a few times. Looking for a whole golf set to get started. Budget ~£200 max    Anyone looking to get rid of an old set? Ideally want to buy something all in one.
    • The tories didn't lose their way towards the end. They destroyed the country over 14 years.
