Yes, I have fond memories of a dozen Irish and English places like
that. Most gone now too. I remember once walking out along a long,
long fog-cloaked pier and being astounded to find a pub at the end of
it, yellow light from the windows. The perfect moment, I thought. Of
course then I made the mistake of walking in to find the appalling
American sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" blaring from the telly....

Yes, I can think of one cold store that hasn't been redeveloped until
about six months ago, the rest is either developed or not going to be
developed further, hopefully ever.

I type restro a lot (food group) restaurant seems a bit of an effort,
would you be happier with restau', looks odd to me. And it gives

You can type whatever you feel like. Restaurant isn't hard to type IME.
Maybe you should just post in SMS-style abbreviations and acronyms if
that's less effort?

Yes, but I think people were saying UK standard fare hasn't altered
much over the years.

I think the point DFM was making is that standard UK fare hasn't
changed much over the years.

The nice thing about living at the seaside is that new places are opening
constantly and the level of quality has gone up so much in recent years that
sometimes I'm spoilt for choice.

I didn't see the post, but I disagree. You just need to go to any
supermarket or street market to see how different the range of what's on
offer has changed. My parents eat a completely different diet now to
what they did in the 70s. I grew up on a council estate- I'm not sure
how much more standard you want.

the undeveloped bits are parks, public buildings etc. I can think of
one bit of Deptford thats still industrial, that will change one day.
Theres a big council estate (project) thats already being redeveloped
as high end flats with marina in the dock. The rest is mostly historic
warehouses already converted. no doubt theres the odd bits that will
develop, but theres not much scope left.

its changed hugely I think. It was all meat and two veg and heavy
puddings. 40 years ago people thought rice and pasta were for
desserts. Aubergines, peppers and such like were unheard of. Herbs and
spices were used in tiny amounts or not at all. There were hardly any
restros.

its changed hugely I think. It was all meat and two veg and heavy
puddings. 40 years ago people thought rice and pasta were for

spices were used in tiny amounts or not at all. There were hardly any
restros.
