Haven't you been there before Colin? With your mother I seem to rem.

Theno,

Yes, She likes it. So do I. It's a completely unpretentious place that isn't pretending to give you a "dining experiance" or any of that guff. It's quite refreshing.

You get shredded cabbage and carrots with your main course and to be honest, it's a change fom "a melange of winter vegetables" or whatever crap you get thrown at you and get charged £5 . Plus the bloke who serves you actually likes his job. I'll reccomend it. You've remembered me talking about it, I seem to remember another poster giving it the thumbs up too.

The Clash - Guns Of Brixton

I went to "The Hillcrest" in Mitton yesterday. My presence probably lowered the average age of the customers by a few years. Cetainly my daughter's age dropped it a few points. But it was really good.

The bloke who runs it is really friendly, the service & food were great. OK, it's not a big pub-night-out place, but probably one to remember

Depends on who you are Gordon and whether you let it be like that. We start by going to church, then sing carols at the hospital, open presents then cook and eat dinner - rarely more than we would eat on a big Sunday dinner. After that we go for a walk if it's not pouring down then either watch something we all agree on or play charades and a board game. We probably don't eat again unless you can be bothered to get yourself bread and cheese or a sandwich. We indulge in a bit more alcohol than usual as we don't usually have to drive but not to excess. Lovely day for all the family

Good for you Gumboots, & good for you. Gordon You both express my feelings exactly. Either you treat the Christmas period as a period of the Christian religious calender and you act accordingly or you can see it as a commercial blastrart -fest to try and sell as much carp as possible to as many people who want to buy stuff. I'm currently working very near the Arndale Centre in Manchester. In there it is a time to BUY THINGS for all the retailers there. It's CHRISTMAS - BUY SOMETHING. BUY IT FROM US. Celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ by BUYING SOMETHING FROM US. IT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY. Buy it you batstadras

or the baby Jesus will die on the cross and you'll have a miserable Christmas and die alone. All I need now is for that bloody Slade record to start off. It's going to happen fairly soon.

I notice the backward word sdratsab is replaced by "Kean". I take my hat off to you Mods
