The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

I am sitting on my car waiting for the new lady in my life to come out of the hairdresser's, feeling a tad peckish after a three hour drive I decided a bag of chips would go down nice, bag of chips more life a field of spuds fried up, anywhere in Lincolnshire would have made five portions out of it, damn nice they were as well. It was a bumpy ride over due to high winds but it was less than three hours for 150 miles and I did not hit any of the traffic that was predicted. Take care everyone, and in case I forget to say it again, thanks for being there and giving support through what has been a tough period.

Portions have got ridiculous there days.
When we have fish and chips, we order one 'small fish supper', basically a kids meal, and divide it between the two of us.
Never feel hungry afterwards.
No wonder there's so many little porkers around there days.

Chippie in my village a month back, two very poor quality and extremely small fish and chips £18.50 a huge bag of chips here were £2.80 and would easily have fed two people or more, Lincolnshire makes Yorkshire people look generous.

The wind is really picking up now. Rain battering into the window too. Don’t think I’ll be venturing back out.

In my local chippy, if I buy a large haddock or cod and a normal portion of chips that is more than enough for MrsP and myself. It comes to £13 as well.

In my defence your honour.
The sausage was veggie
Tomato and beans are (I think) ok
I confess to the egg and hash brown brown bread toast??

More likely he left a big brown present for Santa

Interesting interrupted return journey from Catton today.. The slight delays on the A47 were my fault...
