Reply to: Lunch for under £2

Not sure if its an urban legend or not, but I hear that if you follow the Hari Krishnas back to their temple when they are out and about, they feed you for free if you listen to them talk about their religion for a bit.

They get to preach, you get to eat.

no need to follow them around. Just go to harekrishna temple ,watford on a sunday and you can have absolutely delicious food at very low prices or sometime free

Sounds like Stig of the Dump.

I do wonder myself sometimes.

When his colleague of 20 years left the firm (they work together in a small office, just the two of them) he arranged a leaving do for his mate.

I say arranged in the loosest possible sense.

He rung the other depts in a panic at 5.00 pm and asked us all to come down to say goodbye to John.

So 30 of us all bundle down to the basement, where the 2 guys work.

Stig thanks us for all coming. Says that it's John's last day. And presents him with....A Cadbury's Creme Egg.

You could have heard a pin drop.

One of the most embarassing and saddest goodbyes I have ever witnessed.

(Afterwards someone asked Stig why a Creme Egg. Apparently, they were John's favourite.)

Guy I work with has a rule...his lunch must cost no more that 37.5 pence a day.

Consequently he will by a Tesco Value meal, divide it in to 3-4 portions, and have 1 portion a day, with the rest of the packet left in the fridge for the following day.

And before you ask, yes, he is a Unix dinosaur, he wears the sandals, the ripped t-shirt, has a scraggly beard, and drinks real ale. He does use deodrant though.

If you're not careful, your lunchtime decisions will be offshored in future...

Good spot Francko! He obviously didn't test his solution properly!

Thank you all for your suggestions. I managed to find a local Greggs and I gave their Mexican chicken roll a try at exactly £2.00.

Not bad at all, better than mum's anyway.

That is still not less than 2 pounds. Otherwise you should have said less or equal than £ 2. I hope you are not a programmer.

I know the place you're referring to.

After eating, it would also lead to a cracking great sh1t!

[wendigo100]

There used to be places all round the west-end that did a slice of pizza for £1.50 plus as much salad as you could pile on the plate. The pizza wasn't great but some of the salads were pretty good.

There was a cracking one just under the big neon signs at Piccadilly Circus, that also did a cracking kebab.

Sounds like a cracking good deal
