If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Don't encourage them - it's bad enough when then all trog up in August.

Anyway, The Grain Store next to it is supposed to be better.

Used to be Cafe Istanbul.

I kind of assume that the usual kebab shoppers up there may have put pay to it. If you're interested though Bruce, there is still a cafe Istanbul in Manchester (on bridge street), it's not too bad for a posh kebab :mrgreen:

I do hear it's good but my very lovely friend was too intent on showing me the cheese shop and DemiJohn that we walked straight past it.


Embra was a bit full of tourists at the weekend, hen-dos, stag-dos and rugby tours, it really does make the place unbearable.

Thank-you, DLH. I was beginning to think that I'd dreamt the whole thing up, belly dancers and all.

I only went once but it was pretty good and I was quite put out to see that it had disappeared.

Does anyone know of any decent Greek restaurants in the area? The only good one that I know is in Harrogate, which is hardly handy.
May the bridges I burn light your way

I'm in the big doghouse right now.

Daughter and son-in-law want us to go to the Carvery that used to be the Wategate off Plodder lane for a lunch/tea. Wonderful, no problem, except it's on the coming Sunday. I draw a veil over the slight differences of opinions on priorities currently under dicussion at Meson Tango. It aint pretty. The dog seems to be on my side as he hates being left out of things :(

F*ckin terrible.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
