The Retirement Thread

[Exlaser2]

Afternoon all . Am spending a little time with my daughter today as she’s got a day off before starting her new job working in our local hospital. She has even bought me lunch and a coffee, so who am I to say no . 😀 Just enjoying my second coffee which might be a little dangerous for a man of my age 😂.
Still no return of my love of cycling , it’s the end of may and I still haven’t ridden any of my bikes this year 😕. On the plus side I am sailing more , Wednesdays and Sundays so it’s not all bad on the exercise front . Will be down the club all weekend , on duty of Saturday and sailing on Sunday so life is not all bad 😀

Well......for the first time ever I've been beaten by a 'child's portion' fish and chips!

Had to leave some of the chips and peas. I was stuffed!
Jeez they must have some big kids round here!
Was in the Old Inn at St Breward and the lady sitting opposite us, on the right, was full of mischief.

Morning all

Yay...it's Fish Friday!
Looks like it's going to be a nice sunny day.
Off to Bodmin this morning for some shopping, then dropping in to the Old Inn at St Breward for lunch.
Tentatively looking at property whilst we are down this way.

Not just any Fish Friday, it's National Fish and Chip Friday!

Is that a really big portion for a child , or a very small plate.

Big portion on a small-ish plate.

Yikes!

We decided to treat ourselves to a 12" vegetarian pizza to have with this evening's salad. When I moved here 7 years ago they used to cost £5. Then the price gradually went up to £5.50, £6.00, and eventually to £6.50 a year or so back. They have suddenly gone up to £8.00!

I looked through the price leaflet. Most prices have gone up by around 20% in one hit. I can really see inflation kicking in there...

Try Larry Ramsden's in North Wales.
Harry Ramsden's is only a trading name* now, and has been for a few years.

*No longer a Yorkshire company either.

I know. This was frozen stuff from Iceland ( the shop) not the country

Once you've eaten the genuine Harry Ramsden's, nowt with the name on it bought elsewhere compares.

Larry comes a close second though.

We regularly get a Domino's leaflet shoved through the letter box. I sometimes read it before binning it. I can't understand people paying those prices**
**having said that, my son and partner own a pub/restaurant yet will sometimes send out for a pizza
