Pet Peeves IV

You could be right, I just used £3 because it was used previously.

I think it's the new advert on the TV where there's a family and they complain that the other takeaway they got was "too small" and "how much?!?" and I found myself shouting at the TV "what do you think a Dominos is???".

When I make a pizza at home I don't think the cost of the raw ingredients is at £3 for two - you don't even need a pizza stone, just a frying pan that will go under the grill as well and you've got a really good pizza. Stretched dough in a hot pan, add your toppings, check that it's crisp underneath and throw under a hot grill for a couple of minutes til everythings cooked and gooey on top.

There are some takeaways that I like getting as making it yourself is more hassle than it's worth, but to charge so much for something really easy to make is too much for me.

It really riles me when seeing ads for bottles of eg lager.

The drinkers are usually groups of lads all drinking from the bottle as if that's the way to do it.

A brewer's and publican's dream : inevitably the beer is flat after the second or third swig and is discarded. Time to buy another !

As someone who lives in a designated hotspot for Pizza, I have La Favorita, Origano, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Papa John's and Razzo a 5 minute walk from my house, I must say unless I fancy a log fired pizza then I always use Best Kebab for my pizza cravings, £7 for a 12 inch pizza and some roast tatties to go along with it can't be beaten

Scam calls, just had an automated message from HMRC advising me they know I've committed fraud and if I didn't hit number one to talk to them they'd send a warrant out for my arrest

Hit option one as I like speaking to these folk, when I asked her if people genuinely fall for it she hung up in the huff

Looks like it's saughton for me

I'm cautious of embarking upon a one man crusade to defend/promote dominoes here...

Realistically no-one pays full price for a pizza, if they do then that's on them. They'll usually get about £10 for a large pizza when it's part of a deal, the raw ingredients being £3 feels about right at that point.

Generally, they're better I would say. Probably get the odd exception to that rule here or there though.

Personally I'd rather have the £10 M&S pizza deal as it strikes a good balance of price and quality, but if I want more indulgence and less effort then dominoes (or PH, PJ, or LaFav) provides that.

I just go to the supermarket and get them to make me up a pizza with the toppings I want. I prefer that to ordering one from a takeaway.

Write it out correctly (100 times, in your best handwriting, in your own time, after school) and you might get a bite.

Roadworks right outside your house at 7-45am. No need. Absolute racket.

They’ve been digging the street up all week, think it’s for fibre broadband or something, which I thought I already had anyway.

I’ve had exactly the same, one of the workies told me it was for Vodafone. Thankfully they finished up yesterday at mines.

Morrisons.

“Market Street”. No. “Fruit and veg aisle”.

Piss off.

Going for a Coffee at a takeaway during the Covid era and the conversation with the teenage girl serving goes like this...


"I'd like a large Americano, extra strong, with some cold milk and two sugars, please".

-- "OK, do you want any milk with that?"

"Yes please"

-- "Hot or Cold?"

"Cold"

...goes away to make coffee, comes back 30 seconds later.

-- "Would you like any sugar?"

"Yes, two sugars, please"

-- "Brown or white?"

"Brown"

...disappears for another two or three minutes.

-- "Did you want it with an extra shot?"

"Yes, that's why I asked for extra strong"

-- "oh is that the same thing?"

"I do believe so, yes"

...and she disappears again, natters to one of her mates for a few minutes, strolls to coffee machine, then eventually comes back with the promised coffee.

I get to the car, take a sip of my unbelievably weak coffee, with hot milk and what seems like six sugars, and vow to myself "never again".

...but I'll probably try again tomorrow.

Did this not start with open fridge displays oozing attractive airs to pretend to be something it wasn't ?

It did not last long. In fact, Morrisons is not at all bad for fish and meat.
