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.

Sounds like Stig of the Dump.
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.)

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.

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

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

I know the place you're referring to.
After eating, it would also lead to a cracking great sh1t!

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