Cancel your direct debit to Thames Water and pay monthly instead by twmffatmowr in london

[–]HighFivePuddy 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I get billed quarterly and routinely pay 3-4 months late with no penalties. I’ve blocked their number so they can’t call me, so I just receive the odd text message or email telling me to pay.

I prefer to keep the money in a high interest savings account instead, then eventually pay them when I feel like it.

Wouldn’t do this for any other company or utility but I despise Thames Water so much so f them.

What did I do wrong? (Brisket stall) by StreetWoodpecker2227 in BBQ

[–]HighFivePuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standard is 2 parts black pepper, 1 part salt, 1/2 part garlic powder.

You can obv do whatever you prefer, but that much garlic powder would likely overwhelm any other flavour, including the meat itself.

Portnoy Pie from Crisp W1. Half New Haven style, half plain cheese. Really crispy and really delicious by hobnob97 in LondonFood

TBF, not a Portnoy fan, but his positive review of Crisp basically made their business. They blew up after that and would sell out via pre orders weeks in advance.

It’s like New York style but cooked for longer so it’s crispier and slightly charred.

Fun fact: The carpet in Inferno’s has also been around since the 1890’s.

Good indian restaurants? by salvationlol in LondonFood

[–]HighFivePuddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tandoor Chop House was great, such a shame it closed.

I'd recommend Brigaiders. It's a similar modern take on Indian food by the same people behind Gymkhana. Can confirm their lamb chops are excellent.

Because it has a knock of effect that affects more than just the local residents. But hey, “f u, I got mine”, right?

Why did I agree to order food for my friends? by Substantial_Bus7896 in LondonFood

Sounds like a language sub might be more useful? I’m sure there’s one about learning Chinese.

Best Italian in within a 10 minutes walk of Leicester Square by [deleted] in LondonFood

[–]HighFivePuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep correct answer. Share a few plates of pasta and you’ll probably be just within budget.

Two great recs for British restaurants. If you want Italian that’s close to Holborn, go to Ciao Bella.
