Scary Bear Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 We had the Buffalo Farm's Desperate Dan pie at New Year - lovely. Need the extra gravy though. You do need extra gravy with it. I agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakpiegravy Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Took the car to peter vardy Vauxhall today (got a letter from Vauxhall saying there could be a handbrake issue with certain models of corsas between 2007-2009), and when I went to collect it, I was told there were "at least 4 things needing fixed ASAP", including a new gasket, and there was water in the oil tank. Phoned the mechanic that I use, he just laughed. Took it up to him to be on the safe side, the gasket is fine, and the "water" in the oil tank was condensation. Peter vardy - shower of liars trying to get money for work that doesn't even need done.

Bought a car from Glenrothes SEAT this time last year and some of the guff they've spouted over the past year has been embarrassing. I've had it in half a dozen times since I bought it and been quoted this that and everything for new parts. Took it to a garage next to my work (VW specialists) and they said the car was fine and potential repairs were minimum fuss costing peanuts. b*****ds at the dealership tried to do a puncture repair and f****d the tyre. Had to get a new one that they tried to charge me for ! Reported my tread depths as a few mm less than what they actually were too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I don't mean to besmirch the cooking abilities of fellow PnBers, but if butcher-bought steak pie is better than home-made, you're doing it wrong. Or you’re going to the wrong butcher? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter vardy - shower of liars trying to get money for work that doesn't even need done. Son in law bought a motor off them. Kept breaking down so for the 4 months that he had the car, it spent 3 of those months in their workshop. They eventually agreed to take the car back in exchange for another motor. That one broke down twice and each time they said they had fixed it. When it broke down for a third time, with the same problem, they then announced that their 3 month warranty was up and that the car needed a brand new EGR valve and that it would only cost him £1200. Shower of wankers knew all along that was the original problem but they had no intention of fixing it at their cost. Luckily my nephew is a volkswagen mechanic so he was able to fix it for a lot less. Sometimes wonder if most of these nearly new cars that these type of garages have for sale are mostly ex hire cars that have been thrashed to bits from the first turn of the key.

BigBo10 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Some brief observations: 1. Soup nirvana is yer maw's broth with a well-buttered heel of a plain loaf. 2. Tommy soup is for weans, crackers or not. 3. Baxters bacon and lentil soup with a couple of rolls is the gentleman's only hangover tinned soup of choice. I think I can speak with some authority. 1. It’s an outsider and there should be no butter involved. 2. Tommy soup. Ffs3. Granny’s Potato and Leek soup is the best soup for dealing with hangovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For we plain bread enthusiasts we stick with a 'heel' with lashings of butter. 2. We agree. 3. Yer continental vichyssoise is simply not up to the job of dealing with a Scottish hangover. Smoked and cured pork combined with dried legumes is far superior. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 7 hours ago, NJ2 said: Or you’re going to the wrong butcher? That is also highly possible. When I grew up in rural Stirlingshire there were some decent butchers that did good steak pies, and I don't think I've had as good shop-bought since. I had one a few years ago from Lupton's in Mount Florida. Theirs are supposedly great, but I found it pretty mediocre tbh. Also, the shop is not a great butcher imo. None of the meat looked well-hung, but the prices were equal to those of good butchers in Glasgow, such as William Cranston on Nithsdale Road, or Andrew Gillespie's in Anniesland (now sadly departed). It doesn't matter now anyway. My son has a range of allergies, so I basically don't buy anything pre-made. I always enjoyed just cracking on and doing it myself anyway, so now that's my excuse. Do we have a cooking thread? I might post my steak pie recipe if so. Anyone that does it and goes back to shop-bought is a mental case (I will admit upfront that it isn't a fast recipe). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter vardy - shower of liars trying to get money for work that doesn't even need done. Kirkcaldy or Motherwell? They have a scheme on the wall in the office called 'Ramp Up' and it look like it shows the amount of cash earned by the 'mechanics' each day so I'm guessing they have to find faults to either get a bonus/stay employed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
