Speaking of Croydon, I was walking down Croydon High Street, or whatever it's called, in January, thinking about all the anti-American stuff I had heard since I got there, and noticed that from my vantage point I could see a Starbucks, a Subway sandwich shop, and a McDonald's.

I saw a Ford Transit in Grimsby with the sticker "This van is turbot charged"

It is hilarious watching him lose his rag.

It would be fun to have a ringside seat.

Most of the customers end up walking out ,do they ever pay??

Ramsay is a teddy bear when he gets out of the kitchen.

Actually, while we're on the subject, has anyone seen Gordon Ramsay's new product line on the shelves yet? I've heard that they're cocking fantastic.
