I take it the Gherkin is sizably larger than the Oxo?

Sounds painful.

Sounds like an idiot trap for metrosexuals.

.

Indeed a Stavros Flatley lookalike like yourself would stick out like a sore thumb in a City milieu of that nature.

Fair point Chef but I a man of few words and am trying to get a document out while dipping into this forum for some light relief. So briefly, I didn't linger long on the wine list except to notice some very expensive champagne. I am a beer drinker and so found the Peruvian bottled beer dry with a well rounded finish. Food was fish and chips - batter very light and chips cut with a ruler and set square. Waitresses were all in black shapeless garb so no chance to letch. No idea what toilets were like. Even though in full sun they keep it icy cool. The general ambience is high gleam stainless steel, polished granite - not very comfy but the view was 'to die for'

hope that helped

Our chippy does cod and chips for a fiver and the girl behind the counter has massive n()rks. Great view.

Most movies I've ever seen it starts off that way ... but the oxo usually accommodates in the end.

Information overload.

Cool restaurant, nice view - great norks on the waitresses would have sufficed.

where's the review other than "nice view" and "tad expensive" ???

what did you have? was the wine list any good? what was the atmosphere and service like?

for the blokes: fit waitresses?
for the girls: what were the toilets like?

The daily mail?

Yes, the daily something, full of facts presented in a neutral tone and scientifically laid out. Actually think it may have been a real estate periodical.

Just been up the Gherkin for lunch - a tad expensive and ok food, but man what a view!

Next time go up the Oxo.

I was about to make a post speculating on how quickly the Oxo Tower would be mentioned. I should have known Sas would beat me to the donkey punch.

[gingerjedi]

Next time go up the Oxo.

You can either take someone up the oxo tower or you can be taken up the oxo tower, under no circumstance should one just go up the oxo tower.

That would be a tad impolite don't you think?

[BrilloPad]

i read that interesting thing the other day, in some highly respected journal.

The daily mail?

[snaw]

No, he left it up the Oxo Tower.

That's disgusting. It's actions like this that cause the spread of swine flu and TB, and leaves this country in the moral malaise it's been experiencing since it never happened under the tories.

Did you lick the chutney spoon and put it back in?

No, he left it up the Oxo Tower.
