    Does anyone know what the thing is with ordering pineapple?

    It is a bit mean, isn't it? I mean I usually buy half Martguerita for the kids and half pineapple for me! Pineapple is my fave topping. So it looks like I'll have to get something not as nice! Maybe it takes them too long to open the tin of pineapple and they don't want it to reflect badly on the report!!! :rotfl:

    On a related issue, I went there on Friday evening (not MSing, just out with the family) and we stood in the queue for nearly 40 minutes! I notice the dine-in jobs are for a lunch time - I bet it's not so busy then so again that shouldn't look so bad on the report! I would have loved to be able to MS on Friday - 40 mins in the queue and then we got the table near the bloomin' toilets!!!

    The pineapple does something to the cheese to make it congeal I think - so it doesnt look pretty enough. and also because its a cold topping it affects the temperature of the pizza. Hope that helps!
    I think its stupid. Was never really bothered about pineapple as a topping but since finding out its "banned" for MS I have been wanting it!

    Well mine didn't look congealed on Friday! Are you sure it's a cold topping? I think it was warm. I always have pineapple on and I'm sure I would notice if it was cold. Anyway, I suppose if that's the way they want it, ours is not to reason why...

    hmmm yeah actually scaredy cat it must be warm as its under the cheese, d'oh. Sure I had heard that reason somewhere though...!
    There is something about pineapple though that reacts funny with food. you cant put it in with jelly can you as it doesnt set??

    Someone said about the phone jobs going from RE to GFK, can anyone see them on yet? I've had a look and nothing, and I had one booked with RE until it was cancelled.
