Yes I do believe you’re right Ali. Seem to recall that the Friesian fat fryer had the tag line of...’Fried in the Scottish Tradition...”

Nothing wrong with The Chippy. I remember back in the mid, or was it the late, 1990s a previous incarnation was done out in salty seaman props complete with glass aquarium tables complete with swimming fish. The Chippy’s haddock and chips is a fine …

Careful with that spice Eugene. In sufficient quantities nutmeg can have rather interesting effects. Although i suspect the of custard tarts needed would be extreme. I’ve had some in my spice lair for 20 odd years an they grate wonderfully. An essen…

Mea culpa.

when the chief whip comes to tell Churchill about some minister who’s disgraced himself on a park bench. Some Tory cabinet minister is caught on a park bench at 6 o’clock in the morning in February with a guardsman, which is a total disgrace. And ob…

A humanely debeaked organically reared free-range haggis is a thing of beauty. The piping hot chopped viscera melding with the pepper, pin oats and suet encased in a sheep’s stomach makes one of the finest offal eating experiences there is. Saying t…

When feeling desperately fetid, disassociated and crapulous due to a surfeit of grain and grape, if residual strength is there for the ascent of The Hill then The Meat Breakfast option at Banners hits the mark. Especially if the baked beans goes in …

Oh. How arse numbingly boring.

The paucity, if it is indeed the case, of so-called ‘nature/biodynamic/or bio wine’ at these new and to be welcomed establishments is to be welcomed. In general the fad over the last few years for such tripe has resulted in some absolute filth being…

The mystery opposite Max’s is a mystery no more. The front aspect is going to show off the wares of a local, young, cabinetmaker and his potter mother’s efforts. The days of the alleged knocking shop are no more...

Blacktooth put on splendid, well produced and thought provoking quirky events. Well worth supporting this local group of troubadours and story tellers!

I too am mystified by the appearance of the golden mixer tap. Of course the site has changed its function not to mention aesthetic merit many times over the last 30 years... from appalling Chinese takeaway in the early 90's, through the glory days o…

Up until very recently I would have endorsed Capital Cars too...... however they have been bought out by an argumentative soul who is now the fat controller and who appears to have little idea of how to run a private hire cab business. Similar exper…

Did anyone get their drive tarmacked in the end?

Many thanks for your responses. Have used Capital cars recently and they have been excellent, they text details of who and when the car will arrive with a pic of the driver. Will take a look at the Gett app, sounds promising. An interesting article …

Excellent addition in my humble opinion. I can vouch for the smoked speck and pickles, not to mention the Hungarian sauerkraut, homemade gelatinous "brawn" and meatballs which are all lovely. Highly recommended, even the rather eccentric fascination…

Tony does sell veal.... Have bought excellent veal chops, shin for ossobuco and flank for blanquette, in the past. Just ask, maybe for the "special stuff".

Ahhhh...are we go, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0828587/, Staffies for Beagles and crack pipes for the pre hunt dry sherry....

Prior to The Flag, I think the pub was called The Tap and Spile and/or The Racecourse...or I maybe wrong, it is 20 or so years ago. Then the bizarre Big Fat Sofa. The Flag had the atmosphere of a mortuary and the faint smell of amyl nitrate and stal…

I arrived in 1994 and a few years later the Old Dairy emerged from a white goods emporium that occupied the site then. Like Krappy I mourn the passing of the old WLM, it had a good feel and tried hard to be a decent no nonsense boozer. It's transfor…

Ahhhh....a common error....fakes are most certainly real. Auto spell correct is a bind. I suggest checkski checks out Alan Bennett's wonderful romp on the umasking of the spy life of Sir Anthony Blunt, "A question of attribution". Always worth it fo…

Cut off in my cliche there. Was going to say that the only other time was there had to wait 40mins in the restaurant for a fake away, having rung up 20 mins earlier . Before Y&Y is recommendable the service must improve and waiting times come do…

In there too on Friday ....food was good but have to say the service is pretty chaotic...six members of staff milling about with no apparent organisation. Starters arrived after 20 mins then a 45 minute wait for mains with empty glasses being ignore…

Wonderful stuff...a pink plaque for the Orton cottage! Noel Road were he lived and died has one...although I suspect it might be an onerous task to commemorate every lav he had it off in.

Oh dear that's not good....I can't imagine such a dreadful thing happening at the glorious Bar Estoban the only other Spanish I know in the area. Maybe it's to much to hope that the new offering will match its quality.

I have an allotment on the Evershot Rd site and apparently that too had an anti aircraft battery located on it during the war...

From the ashes of the Tandoor arises a Spanish phoenix called Tierra. Licensing has been agreed and I think it's owned by the same guys who have La Bota and that one off Wightman Road. I was very sorry to see Mezbaan go but here's hoping....
