Recession? What Recession?

Find it funny that some here do not see any signs of a recession, mind you with head's firmly buried in the sand, suppose that's fair comment.

C'mon a Wattwiller has to be worth £3.50 (and probably takes your mind of the rest of the bill).

I thought a Wattwiller was a large, aggressive dog that was owned by someone with a lisp.

The other punters were probably using vouchers http://www.yosushi.com/offers so got a discount. The MSE e-mail sometimes lists them as well.

Keep an eye out ;-)

I am very glad that everyone I know is still working. Some of the guys on building contracts have been laid off but have found other contracts. Another fellow is a painter and decorator and has found private work. Chap down our street got laid off but tells me that his e-bay business is doing enough to not have to get another job.

All this helps to make me happy.

I'm not a big fan of Yo Sushi. IMO it's overpriced and not that good. But there aren't that many sushi places around so they can get away with it.

We've found a nice little pocket of Japanese run restaurants a short distance from our place, also Hare & Tortoise is decent.

Have to agree with the sentiment of "what recession" every time we eat out. Maybe it's living in London, but the places we eat (mid-range) seem to be doing quite well!

Roka on Charlotte St - for good Japanese food and then pop downstairs for drinks.

Eating out is something we enjoy. Going into the city at night is not. There is an expensive Indian in walking distance but as I have done some studying on Asian cooking my wife prefers me to cook. I use less salt. There is a pub in walking distance who seems to be getting busier. Mains from between a fiver and a tenner. Or we can walk to Witherspoons.

What is really sad is that a very nice young Iranian couple set up a very decent priced Iranian eatery. It was really good and we became friendly with them. Also they didn`t sell alcohol but were more than happy for you to pop to the late night Co-op next door and bring in what you want.

Suddenly, without warning, it closed. A real pity.
