My generation seems to be doing just fine in taking over from them. The Karens love to moan about youngsters to their manager. It'll be interesting to see how the Millennials end up being c***s to their offspring. I'm fair chuffed to be called young, hasn't happened in a while! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It "went viral" the algorithm on Instagram pushed it up everyones feeds.

alta-pete Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 As good a place as any to put it in here. I had cause to be going through Uddingston last week. Have any PbBers ever eaten in a Shatin Chinese? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any PbBers ever eaten in a Shatin Chinese? Knowingly? No. But I did a food hygiene course with the council, and they showed us anonymous pictures of the kitchens at takeaways in the area that had failed inspections. Some were so horrifying that turds in the special sauce would've been no surprise whatsoever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live across the road from there and that is the best Chinese around that neck of the woods, the chippy 2 up from it isn't the best !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a district there- I never went so I can't say I shat in ShaTin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a now closed take away on the main road in Stockport, always wonder what they were trying to say that got it translated as "reliable food" which judging by the reviews might not be accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Cuisine used to be the best imo, but it's dropped off dramatically. Agree RE: Marini's - Carlin's chippy was the best before it just shut one day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChilliTomatoSoup Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 In the old days we didn't care if there were nuts, e-numbers, MSG or gluten. We weren't rabid vegetarians or vegans and we knew how much we could spend. Gen-Z can look up menus before reaching the restaurant and find out prices, using the interweb. They are weak. Let them stress themselves into early graves. Let their morbid Goth-like features dissolve into obscurity and become pale as their bodies are denied proteins; their bodies filled only with the gruel of their ideologies. Alternatively, don't go to a restaurant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I was brought up Darn Sarf, chief. The Spud-U-Like opening at the Hempstead Valley shopping centre had all the auld dears clucking away about the modern Eighties world of food. Don't get me started on that futuristic pasta stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
