Sligoman....Supermac isnt great,as someone said portions are small.
Ash was right about 4lights though....had the best curry chips ever in there at 2 o clock this morning.
That's cos obviously you were drunk and even if you went to Burger King and got food you'd have thought they were great too:rolleyes: :DQuote:

Is Londis still about or did they kill them off? What about Pettitts in the East?
