They've got rid of the pound burger deals

Damn

Do the pork sarnie shops still sell the pork and apple stuffing sandwiches or the pork drippin ones?

I will check with Mr BEVS rellies and friends back in Wolvo and the surrounding area, assuming they haven't slit their own throats in a mass suicide of mass depression at where they have lived all their lives.

Hang on a minute, didn't you pull someone up (fairly, I thought at the time) on the fact they'd criticised where you are from; http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...h#post10230198

I realise I'm at risk of being accused of picking on you, BEVS, given my recent post in the 'Your Attitude' thread, this isn't my intention.

But as a key contributor to this forum perhaps you should be a bit more consistent with your views?

I realise that your husband is from Wolverhampton, hence the joke, but so are some others on the forum. Your slitting their own throat comments comes across a bit strong ... Maybe that's just me, I'm hardly the shy retiring type however.

Perhaps, you're simply in a seriously bad mood?

I think actually it is you that missed the irony, entirely.

Come on Tom1983, you know they will never stop selling anything that goes with pork.

OH is very proud to be a yam-yam and has not (yet) considered slitting his throat - I on the other hand... (yam-yam sense of humour?)

Irony and sarcasm, for that matter, never come across well via text.

Its all about Wolves, The Albion and the Pub in the Midlands...after the dole queue

But as someone already said there are worse places

Such as parts of London, Liverpool, Leeds and Glasgow

But i cant stand the place

so depressing

The train ride from Wolves to Brum is like going through a 3rd world country

His lot - None of them - are in the dole queue. Mr BEVs did a stint around The Albion to live dangerously.... once

Okays. I have some answers.

"Hot pork baps am still going here"
"Nom,nom,nom"
"Outside Wickes.

"Yes. You can get a burger for a pound in Maccy's, if that is what you'm thinking of."

So. All good on the nom nom front.
