    jeez mags, if they're prepared to be taken in by the sort of bunkum economists spout, then they can be convinced to pay through the nose for any old shite.

    On that subject, I have a spare set of new clothes I made for the emperor if they want. Here's a piccy:
















    let me know if they're interested.
    None of you seem to understand; I'm not locked in here with you, you'll all locked in here with me.

    There must be a Subway somewhere near Mags' office.

    Or, if his clients are really that posh, a Pret.

    I've never had a decent steak in France, every last bastard one of them has been utter shite.

    The best I've had was in a ressie in Adelaide, where it had been allegedly cooked for 18 hours. Given the time it took to cook, I couldn't help but wonder if I was eating one that some other bloke ordered the night before.

    I never think about 'mark up' or 'being ripped off' when I go out for a meal, if the food is good have a decent winelist and we have a great night that'll do me no matter how much profit the restaurant has made from us. great night outs go on the list of places to go again not so great night outs don't...simples

    Yup, that's exactly it.

    On the subject of steaks, though...the best I ever had was the M&S venison steak my (vegetarian) wife cooked me last week. Bloody amazing, and better than anything I've had at any posh restaurant. Yum.

    Yep. I'm a pleb too. Two bits of bread, dead animal with melted cheese on top. Nom.

    Having said that, the best "meal" I've ever had was a mixed grill in a cafe in Hartlepool. Just under eight quid and it was so big it came on two plates.

    Actually, once you have netted off benefits received in kind I quite happily covered the cost of the meal

    It's OK if you have a couple of rolls with it.

    its a waste of good meat - the french know that chunks of cow should be cooked in burgundy for eight hours not frazzled on a griddle
