Cliff Ton 10,008 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 As well as people using the word 'So' to start speaking , it's increasingly being used online in posts. When people post a message or comment, there's an increasing number which start "So.... I did this etc etc". 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,206 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Can never understand why people start a sentence like that, I was always taught at school never to start a sentence off using the words "And, So, But and Then" because it shows a lack of vocabulary Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 9,671 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Around here, there's been a spate of turning lovely, old country inns into ghastly gastro pubs. I certainly don't frequent them any longer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 5,506 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 The food comes in a van from Brakes and it's heated up in the microwave. Some years ago at a pub in deepest Cornwall we ordered a meal. We were seated near to the kitchen door. We heard lots on pinging. I took a sneaky look and saw rows and rows of microwaves. Home cooking my a**e! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,008 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Back in the 80s there was a fashion for breweries to give a makeover and refit to long-standing, well-liked pubs and turn them into 'Fun Pubs'. I never knew anyone who liked them, or thought they were fun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 5,506 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Last Monday night there were only three of us in my local between 8.30pm and 10pm. Just three pints drunk between us. The previous week the Women's Institute darts team were there. A bloody rowdy lot but there was lots of surplus pork pie and sandwiches for us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black pudding sandwiches and cheese and onion cobs were the staple food of darts matches in my youth. Are there any pubs in Nottinghamshire that still play long alley skittles or any that have bar billiards tables? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 5,506 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Cheese and onion crusty cobs are out of this world with a pint of fine ale. Whilst I eat black pudding with my traditional Sunday breakfast I’ve never had it in a sandwich . Just doesn’t seem right. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
