A landfill maybe a rubish heap now. But in the future when natural resources are tight. A landfill will be look at like a resource bank to be mined.

Also you can tell there is a world recession on. Times were when at 6pm when they opened, until closing time, there were always hot cabinets full of cod, skate, rock, haddock, fish cakes, battered sausages, meat pies etc all pre cooked. Now they will only cook to order as each request comes in. That means at least a 20 minute wait. Not only that have you seen the prices???

Could have to do with food safety regulations or standards. They probably have to toss anything that doesn't sell within 30 minutes of being made, so they don't want to have a bunch of premade stuff sitting around.

I could get into the price issue too, but that would probably take us into politics.

I doubt it. It's mainly to prevent having a cabinet of unsold food at closing time.

More likely not to have a bunch of over dried out product that pisses off the customer who then demands a refund and swears never to set foot in the place again, bad mouths them on the way out and uses social media to trash the place.

I certainly go out of the way for my fish'n'chips to be cooked fresh.

I always pass on the stuff kept in those bain-maries (you never know how long they've been in there).

Cheers.

They're still classed as a bain-marie over here Chris. ;-)

Cheers.

Half the beer would get to warm to drink if we did that. ;-)

Oh, that's right, most of you chaps drink warm beer. :-O

Cheers.

If the beer here isn't at -2C then it's not fit to drink Chris. ;-)

Cheers.

Once again, confusion caused by different uses of the English language. I used to believe that "Brits drink their beer at room temperature" line, until I spent a few nights in UK hotels. I now know that what a Brit calls "room temperature" is the same as what a Canuck calls "fresh out of the fridge".

@Wiggo - Australian lager isn't fit to drink at any temperature!!

Can`t agree on that.

I have brewed australian Lager and it was just great.

Ah, but during our one day summer, when room temperatures crawl into double digits Celsius we still drink our ale at room temperature....

... all the freebie shampoos and body lotions, which are crap anyway, but useful for secret santa in the office at Christmas.

You'd want to remain secret if you're honestly giving those as gifts!

When i'm good i'm very good , but when i'm bad i'm shi#eloads better ;-) In't I " buttercups " p.m.s.l at authoritie !!;-)

I really don't know why people do secret santa, it's so childish and people get embarrassed.

Because, if you genuinely like and are liked by your colleagues, it can be fun...

(And just for the PC record, out here in the People's Republic of Berkeley we prefer the term "Secret Snowflake" over "Secret Santa" to make the game more welcoming and inclusive.)

And there was us thinking you were speedy professional beer drinkers!

Oh, that's right, most of you chaps drink warm beer. :-O

Yes we do! Because then you get the proper taste of the beer, which is half the point of drinking it. Real ale and Cask conditioned beers should be stored and served at 12°C, and most lagers at 7°C. The reason for that is simply because lagers are crap, and the colder they are the less you have to taste what little flavour they have. But you are getting better, there is some hope yet.

Aussie beer

But then again ...

Oooops

The reason the Brits drink warm beer is refigeration by Lucas
