Also, I could believe KFC is man-made. It had a very rubbery, unnatural texture last time I tried any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a nice café there called Acanthus where you could always get a seat. I read that as niche café, although I suppose in Edinburgh it could be both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Pizza hut is rank rotten. I'm not even certain there is a Jimmy Chungs in Dundee anymore and it's not financially viable to purchase both. Pizza Hut > Dominos. I only deal in facts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Pizza hut is far better than Dominos, better deals too, yet to try Pappa Johns.I’ve had Papa Johns. Was alright to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defence it opened at 12 and we never had any breakfast. That probably explains why it closed down. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one near Waverley is now a Spoons called The Booking office, there also used to be one somewhere near Lothian road but I can’t remember exactly where. staggered into the Booking Office last year after a trip to Elgin to watch Elgin City v Edinburgh City - the two Edinburgh City supporting railway engineers clock the rail signal arm on the wall "Here, isn't that the one we took off the Highland Line and give to that museum?" "Aye, I recognise that crack in the glass pane" "How the f**k did it get in here then- chancing museum b*****ds..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 As Johnnie Beattie celebrates his 93rd birthday, I find myself wondering who will do the eulogy at his funeral, given he does it for every other old timey Scottish star? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but there are signs are all over the place saying "Do not feed the seagulls." That is why the restaurant got a fine. HTH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH Presumably placed by the restaurant owners themselves so that the public won't feed them, so the gulls have no option but to eat in the restaurant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I don't think @throbber's clarified this, but was there genuinely a restaurant in Inverness that served seagull? As in, potatoes, vegetables, and a lovely bit of seagull breast on the same plate? Or is that a whooshing noise I hear? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
