Have to agree - they are vile.

Can't beat a take-away pizza though
Marks and Spencer's have the best food though, i could spend all my student loan there.

Also, my mam tends to do all of her shopping at Marks & Spencer at the Arnison Centre anyway.
Certainly not down playing being quite posh are you.

But why go to The Galleries when you could go Intu MetroCentre, pretty similar distances to be fair.

Most of the stuff is nice, especially the bakery.
The Pizzas are horrid.

I agree takeaways are the best, and most of our food is bought from Marks and Spencers. 50/50, some of their stuff can be lovely and then some can leave you scarred for life.

I'll avoid the pizza's, the fresh chicken is really nice, the bakery though.... is another story haha

My favourite is the Shortbread Chunks or the Cookies!
The Bakewell Tarts are canny too.

We need to stop now or i'll have spend rest of my student loan tomorrow haha

It's literally amazing how much it takes for us to go off-topic.
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - LeeCalder - 03 Mar 2015
Eh???.... What's wrong with Aldi! 5 bars of chocolate for £1

I know which of the two I'd sooner go to.
Been to both and Washington Galleries ain't the nicest of places I've been to.
MetroCentre is great if you have some money and are in the mood to buy things although it's shit when people practically shove you into the metal edge of Schuh's window. Hence why I didn't take the Nikon the other day.

haha thanks, they are though, you have to try them... haven't like any other jaffa cakes since haha
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Tom - 03 Mar 2015
Jaffa Cakes are disgusting in my opinion! Can't stand them.
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Jimmi - 03 Mar 2015
I hate going in Aldi especially the first time I went in to see if they had any cheap drinks that I wanted but they didn't and I ended up buying nothing and I couldn't get out because the gap by the check out was blocked and you could only leave through the doors by the checkouts so I had to wait until people came in the shop to leave.
Some of the food is quite nice.
My Aldi was opened by the woman from the advert that goes "I don't like tea, I like gin"

I'd be asking her to double that £50.00 a month, if she can afford to do her weekly shop at M&S!

She's eccentric, make 2-3 visits a week to 'get a bit more wine' or 'buy a few more of the meal deals'...

Feeling ill, now thinking of doing tomorrow's outing on Saturday.

I think they're 89p, best jaffa cakes you will have.

BTW...Are they Cakes or Biscuits
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Andreos1 - 03 Mar 2015
(03 Mar 2015, 11:08 pm)Adam wrote Definitely cakes. When past their best, biscuits go soft, whilst cakes go hard. Jaffa Cakes do go hard after a while
That was the logic a judge used in a court case to decide whether VAT should be applied to them a few years ago.

(03 Mar 2015, 11:02 pm)Adam wrote very tempting. Suppose it won't damage my budget too much
Next thing you're on the streets.
£1 for some Jaffa Cakes...it's like Germany after WW1!
