So far all I can see that they've done is to raise the pavement under the bridge and replace slabs further up the street. They're still working on it but it doesn't look like they're doing extensive works to make the crossing safer.

Maybe they are making it more dangerous. Population control.

Mrs. Cartoon went to Knowles on Sunday and ordered a Ploughman's Lunch. There must be some emaciated ploughmen out there.

Tbf that *is* from the small plates menu so it was never going to be 'hearty'..
Bread needs waving under a grill tho.

I was with said Ploughman's muncher and so can vouch for the sparsity of her meal and the fact that the bread was stale. They could have presented it better and put more apple and a wee bit of tomato/salad. The manager even said he thought the bread was 'from yesterday' and not 'wrapped up' properly! Their head chef was off and the kitchen were knee deep in the shit. They should've just closed the kitchen IMO.

I've complained about food in there before (overcooked chicken, Ok, burnt chicken). They were very good about taking it away and replacing it. And they gave us a couple of gratis pints.

Yeah they are good at that, we got free cheese but I had to ask politely! They messed up our order as well as sending out the stale, measly Ploughman's. We did have a laugh with the waiter about it. They just haven't got a decent chef in yet. They've changed her/him a few times and now it's a bit bothering the current one was off on a big trading day.

Great North Wood - it's just better I think if you want to eat.

Whither pickled onions? Apple? Sourdough (that admittedly needs waving under a grill)? Micro herbs? Nice plate? RAMEKIN??
That's the unseen price you pay when you spend £1.50 with a multi-national, corporate, psychopathic, supplier-oppressing cashpit.
ETA: 'No Mayo' is not a selling point - mayonnaise has no place in a Ploughman's. Salad cream is still a subject of vigorous debate, but sadly there are no ploughmen left to express a preference either way.

It wasn't a sandwich to be fair. It was a very generous indeed serving of cheese- which itself was lovely- and it came with a number of other things. Unfortunately my memory is laughably bad but I think I remember at least two different types of bread plus some crackers, apple slices, chutney, salad, watercress, mustard and I'm sure one or two more things I can't remember.

Mustard and variegated breads/crackers. Now you're talking
In Cheddar, eh? What kind of cheese was it?

Salad cream nor mayo did not exist when ploughmen did. As an aside, salad cream? Yuck! Hate the stuff.

Mayonnaise. 1756. Dark day in history.

Oh fuck.
Just told my better half to prepare herself for a long journey from Brixton tube, or to just walk it.
There might be a case for lorry drivers with high loads to be forced to fork out for enhanced sat navs that tell them whether the route they're in is suitable.
