Both boys have never been paid what has been quoted by same article published by the media . Do you think a business would pay so little ? Not one of them could even locate the place . And not one of the boys worked in the in the public area. Yes they would bring food up etc . But the whole deal was to keep it as private as possible . In their own way they are a nice family .

As for Brooklyn Being a photographer ! Well he has been studying art etc . And with his family name things get easier . Like having the likes of "Rankin" playing teacher . Well let's hope Brooklyn pays his assistants ( a trade joke !)

Now , must stop , having lunch at "Spoonful" in Barnes . Fresh food good coffee and less than the "council places "

I just have to say, well played. This is the best troll account I've seen here for ages.

Isn't it amazing that none of the facts the media published are correct . They claimed Brooklyn was serving coffee etc . Not true . He was making sauces and preparing food etc with the French chef .
The family and owner would have made sure everything "employment wise" was above board etc . The family security team would want to know all about the place etc .

And yes teenagers will eat "Junk food " and that is exactly what Nando's is "Junk"

Now , there is a serious coffee thread going on. Real men's stuff , so excuse me

Or perhaps the media deliberately didn't publish the name, as would be a safety and security risk...

How is nandos junk food. It is pretty much meat and sauce I wouldn't say it was junk. McDonalds maybe but there is always a time and a place.

There is always someone who says they have never been, insert name, to the place as if it is a badge of honour, like anybody really gives a st.

True. The fact is that he will have experienced a finer quality of crockery, portmeirion, dresden, dare i say possibly even some meissen. And if that's the trype of crockery that you've been raised with it stands to reason that you're going to be a better cup washer than some council "plate warmer" who wouldn't know the difference a Tesco "16 pieces for £10" set and a Limoges toby jug,,,,,

Exactly . And welcome on board ,Whilst I dont need the support Its good to see someone else who understand the finer things in life .


And the question about the media "knowing" .Did they hell ! if you check out 20 + articles in the media .They are almost word for word a "Copy and paste job"
No member of staff talked to the media. The media where looking . The boys have never "served" food or coffee etc . They where/are not paid the amount mentioned etc. You think no one wanted a pic of them washing up etc or preparing food etc .A pic like that would be worth a fortune. As long as taken legally .But in Romeos case there is also the age .


So what have some of you learnt ? , well its Good food can cost a lot less than " council food" . And to finish on the OP's Question ,leave a piece of paper with a pic of the Queens ass and £3 scribbled on it .

Indeed. Ask Jeeves is a much better quality of search engine, and it doesn't cost that much more....

Would have been perfect for the cringeworthy thread

£20.00?

For that , 3 of us can eat eat excellent food in one of hundreds of quality Turkish restaurants . Fresh as fresh can be and prepared by chefs.Not students trained to heat food .

In fact we eat at a french place , most weekends for Breakfast . Its very often frequented by The Beckhams and The 2 bigger boys have both spent a "lot of time there :-)" It costs us about £20 for a good breakfast of scrambled eggs, salmon, pastries and coffee etc . Good fresh food is not expensive .Nasty food is as you are paying for what most of us would throw in the bin.
"quality Turkish restaurant "?

I used to live on Harringay Green Lanes, the Turkish food there is indeed of very high quality and very reasonable price. £20 would feed two, maybe three at a small stretch, you would even get a few lamb cutlets and a quail on top for that kind of price.

I think tipping is just a nice thing to do to show appreciation of good service\nice food\etc. Not obligatory, but just a nice thing to do.

Justifying why you don't tip just makes you sound tighter than a camel's arse in a sandstorm.

Lamb prices has shot through the roof.. Even Friends in Turkey tell me many people have almost gone vegetarian due the cost.

Its not about how much I want to spend .Its what I get . IF I am in a 4 star restaurant. I know most of the cost is for the decor and the Eye candy . Great food is not about money . If people want to eat rubbish thats their bag . I know people who wear £25k watches and think Gregs is a dinner date destination !

But for me we are engines, and the better the fuel, the better we run etc. "My body is a temple" etc is a little too dramatic and not suited to a car forum.!
