London oh what has become of you ..

Beer and curry is the only way to go. In the werherspoons of course.

great beer for sure.
Though I'd check your typing derrick.

all the best.

Genuine pizza serving 4 types of 48h slow risen doughs. Both Islington and Hammersmith Pizzerias voted Best Local Restaurant on Time-Out Awards. Featured in the global guide Where Chefs Eat. Now also at BoxPark Wembley.

Pizza from 'voted Best Local Restaurant on Time-Out Awards' + beers from 'multi-award
winning microbrewery'. Sounds good to me! What's not to like?

I think I'd reserve judgement until I saw the size of those pizzas to be honest.
I once had the misfortune to go to a London greek place that seemed to be the unfortunate bastard child of a greek restaurant and nouvelle cuisine - a greek american (well more american than greek) friend of mine got quite tearful in the place as a trip back to the ancestral home - I fear I found it poncy. Greek and "nouvelle" are words that shouldn't collide in any known universe in my opinion.

About 4 inch, but referred to by a pretentious name rather than size

I'd recommend folks read the text in that page's various headings.

Not too hard to decode for those with half a brain (grilled, sauted or whatever)

I'm not sure whether I should be happy or sad.
Zia Lucia is 150 yards from where I live.

You are as ever boringly predictable.
I've got robots/bots/internet connected washing machines that are more intellectually/conversationally interesting.

You do know that @Markymark actually lives in Chigwell and does this Laaandan stuff for comedic effect don't you?

Don't spoil my illusion of him, I thought he was a deadly serious Hurrah Henry whose only exercise is when his butler takes his bike out for a ride

I care not where he lives.

I fully realise that he thinks it funny.

And some other folks maybe.

The world is full of folks who think themselves funny.

"jokesters" as Lenny Bruce would have called them.

I am a londoner myself.

Since the 70s.

And so am fully aware of its glories and pathetic ills.

I’ve lived in London since the mid-1950s. I hate Wetherspoons and I hate Tim Martin. I do however find Marky kind of cute.

I always thought that was a given especially in the maroon smoking jacket

 

[Pale Rider]

He has a history.
A profoundly boring predictable one.
The year is I think 2019.

Rather like Jim Davidson.

Even I don't think he's very funny any more.

 

[Heltor Chasca]

Forget the advertised festival or whatever it is.

This thread is way better. And funnier.

In fact I may have just had a little tinkle in my pyjamas.

Unbelievable. £17. Outrageous. I can’t belive they think that’s the correct price.

It should be at least £300 to stop dirty northerners coming along.

TBH, 4 beers is probably as much as they can handle.
