Savvy...I'm so glad you are back,only you can explain something using the principle items being fish fingers and cars...
You have a way of putting your points across that is both intellectual and informative

I remember many years ago returning from France with my dad trying to squeeze all his crates of beer in and around everything to travel home... Beneath my feet was at least one... At least yours are soft;)

I really find eating out tricky... Your comparison of £60 :eek:for one meal out against nearly a months worth of shopping just shows how expensive lots of places are.

But in terms of juggle shopping, that's less than a weekly shop.

Some people just love to throw money away!

In the past we have eaten in this particular chain when they have had deals....and indeed in the very dim and distant past at full price too...it probably wouldnt be fair to name them but its a very common place on a lot of retail parks....
Their food is distinctly average but I will concede that if the time and place was right then perhaps we could have had a nice evening there....what we wanted was something after the cinema that would satisfy our hunger with minimum fuss....
I just couldnt justify the price

I think sometimes you have to take the time to weigh up the pros and cons...sometimes the easier less stressful option wins even if it's the most expensive...
When we were in the airport really early morning the monkeys were hungry and it was very busy... It was either que at greggs/subway/WHsmiths and eat sat on an airport chair or go into one if the restaurants this time f&b won and I have to say it was nice, probably not worth the money in the sence of food value but deffinately in the way of stress/easiest at the time.
