Forgot about the 'paying for the drink' bit. The wife handed over the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon51 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Just to add: not an obvious chav or 'fat git' in sight unlike your average pub at lunchtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Why is it these 'all you can eat' type places are sometimes full of rediculously obese people with their heads buried in huge plates of food like pigs troughing their way through breakfast! Looked in the window of JUMBO's the other night, rammed with fat unhealthy looking families where Dad and Mum were about 20 stone each, and the siblings were also a tad on the fat side with their faces buried in plates of food and non stop bowls of ice cream... Not all I am sure, but I wish I had taken a snap through the window of JUMBOS the other night, whichever night it was not sure, because it was just very fat people stuffing their faces with huge forkfuls ofjunk food, several of which could not get the food in their mouths fast enough!!!!!! I could live for a year on the amount I saw one family gobbling up, it looked like they had refilled their plates at least 10 times!! It was like a comedy sletch from Little Britain, I was just waiting for a certain character to appear......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like all the students at the pizza hut buffet..... a massive pile of about 100 pizza crusts left over when they left... i think there were only about 7 of them too greedy wastful gits....suppose it beats working!!!!

Ginger Daddy Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I went to the Barnsley one last week, and have also been to the one in Coventry when I was staying at the nearby Hilton for work last year. Noticed some cost-cutting differences between them. Don't know if this is due to location, or if they have been penny-pinching over time: - The very large turkeys on the carvery (similar to the ones you get at a Toby Carvery) have gone and have been replaced by those turkey roll things that Kerry Katona probably buys from Iceland. Needless to say I avoided it. - The Ice Cream Factory extras have gone: no sweets or sauce. Even the raspberry coulis sauce from the fridge had vanished. - The beer prices, very reasonable at first, have now increased to just average. However this is to be expected given the duty increase. However was still quite nice, and the OH enjoyed it too. For £8 on a weekday evening you cant expect silver service. Would NEVER go at weekends though, can imagine it being like hell on Earth!
