    Overall, probably the best of the three I've tried so far - however, it's also the most expensive. Still, like the Fountain, it's just over the road from the hotel, so it may be a bit of a toss-up between them in future.

    Unlike the others, there's a Murgatroyd's web site: "If tha' doesn't like this lot, there's summat wrong wi' thee"

      The pimp wasn't sure if they can wait six weeks, but if they can (the pimp had forgotten when I'd be available so couldn't check if they could wait that long), they want to do a face-to-face first thing on Monday.

      That'd be fun... drive from Leicester to Cambridge, do an interview, then drive up to Yeadon and start work
      Serves them right for not pulling their finger out!

      They should wait for you : why act hastily and get second best?

          Waiting for location/location and grand designs : Mrs BP will watching masterchef too!

          How about your good self?
          How long is the outlaw staying?

          I've had a good rant at the insurance company, and told them to shove their renewal - amazingly they were able to knock another £100 of their figure again tonight but they're still more expensive than the majority of other quotes. I'm also a bit miffed with them, so a move is probably a good thing.

          Not really feeling up to going shopping now, so I think a night in front of the T.V. is called for. Banged my head on a kitchen cupboard door earlier no I may partake of some hops-based medicine to get rid of the headache.
          Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

              As you can possibly imagine, I can personally vouch for quite a few. The one (now two) at the Black Country Museum are rather good, though that is directly attributable to their use of beef dripping
              Beef dripping is definitely FTW

              I'm not sure about writing a guide - although maybe it would be as successful as Russell Davies's Egg Bacon Chips and Beans

                I think you're right

                (Hopefully that'll sound like a challenge to him and we'll get a very well implemented map of chip shops now )

                  Outlaw goes FRiday pm. Its a pity as everything runs alot smoother while she is here.

                  Its always good to shop around.

                  What were you doing in the kitchen? Does Mrs VF allow you in there?

                    Is that what you call a mash up or is that something else?
