Ah the knickerbocker glories! "memories like the corner of my mind" <singing> Halcion days indeed! Halved tomatoes, metal teapots, cucumber sandwiches and pimms on the lawn..... what on earth has become of this fine land these days? we eat on the pavement out of polystyrene cartons, class good service by how fast it takes a spotty youth in a red and white hat to throw a bag of wrapped burgers into our unwashed hands and use alien language like "2 large fries and a regular coke, hold the ice"
I say bring back the knives and forks, the Wimpy sauce bottles and reintroduce the metal teapots
BTW, I'll pass on the QuornBurger and all that designer rabbit food they are trying to pass off as alternatives to beef. If it doesn't moooo I don't eat it.
The great man himself

Though being mostly meat free now make mine a QuornBurger |
