"I dare say, my good men! Well said! Well said,
indeed! And how's about that all that uproar and
codswallop at Harrod's, eh? Blinkered case of the
collywobbles in a pig's eye there, if you ask me, eh
wot?"

If i EVER hear any of my countrymen saying any of
that, i`ll let you know!

In reply to Greg, yes the local councils wring their
hands and shake their heads at the death of city
centre`s, whilst raking in millions by persecuting the
innocent motorist, driving them to out of town retail
parks.

Regarding Greggs charging 50p to sit inside, i remember
McDonalds doing something similar, there was one price
for take away, and a slightly dearer price for eating in
the restaurant, and heaven help you if you claimed you
were taking away, then sat down to eat!

I could be wrong, but isn't the extra charge for eating inside something to do with VAT?

Re Greggs

I stand by that company as every Monday they give us all their unsold food which we then distribute to the local homeless. They give it to a different charity each day.

I only ever bought from the new York City Forbidden Planet and I guess I don't really care how they were connected back in the old country, I just know they offered some good stuff for sale. From England I mostly have bought from David Nightingale's Thunderbooks when it was operating, and under the Mr. Thunder name since then I guess.
