Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
I agree Peter. I've had to cut down on the deep fried caviar 'n' chips. And on the deep, fried, caviar and chips. For me it's now a case of eats shoots and leaves; though occasionally it's eats, shoots and leaves to find a takeaway for lunch.
ReplyDeleteWhat always amazes me, passing Broadstairs restaurants and café, is not just how many people seem to be able to eat out, but how young they are. Some I know to be local sixth formers so evidently pocket money is much better these days.
DeleteI had one of those Hi-Life Diners cards, used it once on my wife's birthday, and worked out that the saving on one main course was about a quarter of the annual subscription for the card. Hence, did not renew, especially as Pizza Hut, KFC and Macdonalds are not participants and it does not cover takeaways.
My normal modus operandi, if the weather is ok, is buy a French stick and some cheese and make for the nearest cemetery or monastic garden, when I do eat out it is usually a lunchtime snack and features in a blog post about the eatery.
DeleteBut yes the whole thing, expense and quality never fails to amaze me.
I find that that the restaurants in our area are of generally good quality and reasonably priced. I suspect this is due to the competition. But of course cost is realtive, consequently, it does depend much on for how many realatives you are footing the bill.
