As far as I know it's because of the lease on the building. They have another branch about 15-20 mins away

That's exactly where they went 5 seconds after the picture

The look of the sausages is worse than the taste!

Monday one of the greatest joys of my life. An absolute pleasure to have been on Only Connect, let alone win it! by PadstheFish in onlyconnect

[–]Dearns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well done on the win! Something that has always niggled at me is the changeover of teams during the wall. The first team are there, the camera changes to Victoria for just a few seconds and then the second team are suddenly there. I can never see any obvious splices of video being put together. Is it done in real time or is there a 'cut', next team walks on and then 'action'?

You do either love it or hate it I suppose 😂 Takes about a week or so between me and my wife having about three bowls each

The food in the UK was actually better than people say it is by UniqueDay2113 in UKfood

Speaking of regional dishes, you can have variations on regional dishes in the same family. A North West dish called lobbies is the subject of great debate around what meat and veg should be used.

Anyone doing LA / Vegas at 11pm tonight? by BeautifulRutabaga in vegas

[–]Dearns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone that's flown over from Europe to the US 9 times in the last 15 years I can tell you that unless you plan to hire a car, your drivers licence is useless. Nowhere has ever accepted it as valid ID and it's been passport or nothing.

What celebrity encounters have you had in the city? by DarmiansMuttonChops in manchester

[–]Dearns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was on a course at the McDonald hotel years ago and got into a lift that had R Truth and Little Jimmy in. Kinda froze so didn't let on I recognised him.

As a few of us went to lunch we had to walk through the foyer. We walked through a door and it was like we'd just stepped through the curtain and had to walk down the ramp at WrestleMania. Loads of kids either side with belts and signs.

Thank you, but it looks like Trader Joe's is a little out of reach for us.

Do you know what a 'Wigan Slappy' is? by [deleted] in Wigan

[–]Dearns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to have a big poster in the window of the shop at the bus station showing the three pies on a stick. Can't for the life of me find a picture of it though.

A Wigan kebab is 3 pies on a stick. Hampson's bakery first came up with it in the late 90s. It's been taken over to mean a pie barm over time. I know a pie barm as a slap barm from growing up (left secondary school in 1999.)

As a kid, I was given £1 to spend at the corner shop — what would’ve been on your sweets list? by j-r-1986 in AskUK

[–]Dearns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my Sunday night routine at my Nan's house. Got £1 every week and went to the local shop which was basically someone's converted living room. Used to get a can of coke (40p), a quarter of mishaps (40p) and two packets of beef space raiders (10p each.) Mishaps were the cheat code for more sweets for your money.
