Tis only big enough for a starter!
Had it once, didn't like it. We had to send it back 4 times before they cooked it properly. Restaurant in France run by an English couple who were so far up themselves you couldn't see them.:(

I wouldnt order that but if I was out doors and needed a meal then the woodies would get it through
the breast.
 
The price is big enough for a full meal here, oh and some beer:)

To think when I was working there the meal was fixed price, 3 courses and coffee, £5, I think, might even have been less. I know a Martini cocktail (double gin etc) was 50p.
The menu was changed every day and there was a choice of about 10 different things for each course.
The food was bloody good and we got to eat it every night! What had been cooked in advance and wasn't served. We could have as many starters and deserts as we wanted. Parma ham, home made ice cream, creme brulée etc etc,
Unlike the next place I worked in where the food for the staff was feckin awful. :D
 
Just thinking (dangerous I know:rolleyes:)
Anybody seen/heard @derwendolly recently?
Last I remembered she was of for a jaunt in the camper.

I am still here but I have had enormous BT landline problems with a service ranging from a couple of dodgy hours through to NO service for days and as I rely on the landline for the phone and the painfully slow Broadband and I can't even report or reply to any BT engineer because I do not have any mobile phone reception things have been very difficult. I was totally out of communication with anyone, including emergency services. To report it I had to drive six miles to the nearest place that I could pick up a mobile signal and then had to hang around there for a couple of hours whilst BT tested the lines and then got back telling me that I had a fault on the line. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: It has been going off & on for weeks and they had done a repair at the end of September but that didn't last long until it finally packed up completely. I had great difficulty trying to communicate with the BT Bot which eventually gave up saying that it did not have enough language programmed into it to be able to understand. At no point was I able to get a number through to a human - the reporting system is not fit for purpose and just cannot cope with problems when the customer has no mobile!! The Bot said it would make an engineer appointment for me but ........ he didn't turn up.

Eventually, a very good friend who had been trying, and failing, to contact me reported it from over in England. She told them the situation and said how worried she was because I could be lying dead with two dogs at my side and no-one would be aware. They tested the line and told her that there was a wiring fault on the line and she had reported it as an emergency. My friend sent me a letter to tell me what was happening and but I tried to send a letter of gratitude to her there was no postal service for two days 'cos they were on strike!!!!
Then, unannounced, a BT engineer turned up the next day and set to work. The wiring fault was about a kilometre away up over the opposite hills - he was working on it for a total of almost two hours until he was happy it was working properly. It did - for two days and then the dialing tone was just 'white noise' until it and the Broadband packed up again. The next day it came and went for a few hours until now, four days later when it seems to have been behaving itself - fingers crossed.

I bet you are sorry you mentioned my absence now! :):):)

My best friend lay dead on his boat for 4 days.
I had to get the police to go look. :(
I know this isn't a competition but my dad lay dead in his place for two weeks, in a semi on an estate.:(
His neighbour had dementia although was just about managing to live on his own. He told us he heard a big thump coming from the house but didn't think about it much. Poor bloke.
And the other neighbours weren't on good terms with him so wouldn't have known. His drinking buddies thought he had just moved to another pub, which he sometimes did. In the end, the milkman who had just been changing his milk for another one every day,:rolleyes: finally alerted the cops.
Keeping oneself to oneself has its downsides.:(
So it can happen almost anywhere.
sorry about your friend Dan, that can't have been easy.:(:(:(
