    A quote used no less than in response to Boris Johnson's moan in the Torygraph at the state of the trains by simon coulter!

    Just slapped a minute steak on the griddle, accompanied by sweet potatoes roasted in a maple syrup and ginger glaze, with buttered broad beans and peas. Washed down with a glass of Costieres de Nimes.

    Now, back to work.

Next time hit the salt yard on goodge street, you will be blown away.

    When I was working in Oxford St many moons ago instead of going to the usual Starbucks/Coffee republic/Costa del Sol Coffee places that charge £2.50 for a latte, I used to go off track to a little cafe place run by an Italian that made really great creamy lattes for 60p.

    That's because you're not supposed to eat the menu, Kramer. And La Tasca is mass produced >ding-ding< tulipe anyway.

    Out of interest, what do you do with the scented hot towels? Or that nice hot water and slice of lemon soup you get in Chinese restaurants?
