# Did he just take one bite, and go
"Fish cooked perfectly. Batter crisp and even. Chips are a bit greasy though", and then chucked it on the floor and wandered off.

# £5 for fish and chips in London is alright.
Can't be too bad if he's eating it either.

# Awesome.
I'll try that.

I can't believe we've reached a point where we think £3 a pint is not bad pricing.

# Mother of fucking mercy.
£5 a pint - they can piss right off. How do they get any business? What fuckwits are supporting the owners in charging that? Are they just ripping off tourists?

Jesus, that's made me quite angry.

# Proper rip off..
The tourists lap it up though, because they can stand on the balcony bit and watch the "performance" downstairs..usually some bloke on a unicycle wannking or something..

I'd pay to watch that.
