Good nibbles, too. Tried the whitebait: generous portion, plump and tasty. And the Scotch egg: was on the verge of inquiring if they'd forgotten my order after about 25 minutes--how long can it take to put a Scotch egg on a plate with a bit of garnish?-- only for it to arrive freshly cooked: yolk still gooey! Bloody good stuff, and reasonably priced at AED35 each.

8 quid for a scotch egg????????

But you would pay it wouldn't you?

This weekend I paid £2.66 for 8 crap crumpets and £5.30 for a kingsmill loaf. Don't even get me started on the price of Kleenex Aloe Vera bog roll.

Don't start going down the converting back to GBP route....

Unless it is for faggs 10 AED/£1.70, Bottled Water/coke etc 1.5AED/£0.25 or petrol 6.25AED/£1.05

Other than those it's not a good idea!

There is rarely the spare one floating around in the cubicles here. Lucky if you get into trap 1 and have some to use.

Hand towels = rash.
