High Street Burger Bar Pictures.
I was in such an establishment the other week and thought I'd treat myself to a greasefest for lunch.
The picture above the till showed a thick, juicy burger with a large rasher of smoked bacon, thick slice of melted cheese and dripping out of the side, a chunk of tasty relish, all garnished in a veritable landslide of fries, so I parted with my £7.45

What I got was a sad, joyless slither of beef which was probably the finest cut from the scrotum, what looked like a strip of my granny's buttocks deep-fried in old chip fat but which actually turned out to be very sorry looking bacon, a slice of cheese which bore no earthly resemblance to any cheese I had ever seen, and on lifting the burger bun found the relish masquerading as something which looked like a smear test.

I could've counted the fries on the fingers of 2 hands.

I tried remonstrating with the staff that their advert was misrepresenting the final product, but there was no point. The poor sod behind the counter probably took home in a week what I take home in a day, I had no wish to make his day even less palatable.

I suppose you could argue both he and I were being ripped off.

"something which looked like a smear test"
I'm sorry, but I am going to be ripping off this wonderful expression and using it myself at the earliest available opportunity.

You should have drawn his attention...

That would've been appropriate too.
Since I have a flat-top and NHS glasses.
I actually look like a 1950 american paedophile. Hence my lack of participation in the hotornot phenomenon.

I've just pissed myself laughing at that
Most of those burgers look like a fast food representation of the female pudendae.

I suppose thats why they call 'em Beef Curtains.
