Am I just tight or is this extortionate?
Works canteen. 1 filling. Sauce extra!

seems reasonable
of course it depends in part on the size of the roll and the filling

All that lovely Chinese food, and you choose a burger.

The people are friendly, plenty of interesting things to do and you don't need to break the bank doing it. The only thing I don't like is the food, especially the stuff you see cooked up on the side of the road (accepting that this is coming from somebody who thinks that eating a pizza counts as adventurous foreign dining)

More than happy for anybody to eat whatever they like. Personally I do always try and eat local foods, always have a pasty in Cornwall.

Am I just tight or is this extortionate? Works canteen. 1 filling. Sauce extra! The Enfield Preservation Society (my old home town ) was offering guided tours around the Greggs Bakery in Millmarsh Lane for £10.00 per head .I thought that was extortionate too, except the money was going to the charity . I have a vicarious fascination for Greggs in the the southbound service area on the A449 @monmouth and can sometimes be found there, looking at stuff, @ about 06.00hrs .

Does Greggs count as food? I s'pose it's a (small) step up from MuckyDogbits.

Brings back memories - about 35 year back i worked just down the road from that site in Duck Lees Lane Brimsdown where they had what i guess was their first Bakery in Enfield?It was next to the Granville pub always a good combination for putting on weight after the early shift but the best bit was sometimes when they had overs or a batch they could not sell they would send over freebies (guess that would not be allowed now) I think we had One guy set the world record for eating custard tarts in an hour after we got a trolley load
