Nothing for me thanks. Awful place serving over priced awful food.
This, this and THRICE THIS!I went once and I don't think it's possible to be more underwhelmed and over charged. I just don't get it.
How on earth is that "excessive" when a "meal" at McDonalds or similar (or a sandwich and crisps from M&S) can run to over £6 easily? (for which I don't get cutlery or food brought to my table)

I guess posting 10 times in a thread about something that doesn't interest you is one way to keep that post-count high. You keep on plugging away, champ.
More amusement seeing you get wound up, socket.I don't think anything has suggested I'm "wound up" at all, unless you can point something out - principally because I'm not. It's quite clear that the 'wind-up' is your intention, but I don't think you're bright/creative enough to manage it.
An average of 5 point something posts a day versus 3 point something posts a day, not really anything to write home about frankly, not as if it's many many multiples of input. Anyway you carry on trying to belittle and shut down any opinion other than yours. What was it you said on that other thread? Wasn't it something about people being entitled to their own opinion. Now leaving you to your own devices, hypocrite.

So it serves cheap, good value, sometimes hot food.
Which people may or may not like depending upon their personal taste. But if they don't like it that is only because they are pretentious snobs.Does that provide an executive summary of the thread?

Don't really get the hate of Nando's? No I wouldn't go there for a nice dinner, but I think that has been well established.
I work on Baker Street and we have take away for lunch most days, every day i'd say. There are not many fast food restaurants not available to us, and if you include deliveroo which we use most days as well (patty and bun, Nora etc mmm), pretty much anything I fancy is withing reach. Nando's is by far getting the most business from us, relatively healthy (Chicken thighs and Olives please), decent quality (I mean it's grilled chicken, only so much you can do), decent sauce though I think they're to vinegary and not hot enough (I boost it with Blair's sudden death).
It is what it is and has no competition really. Have a chicken and foxes near by but it's rather dull in comparison.

I mean, isn't the point of this topic to say what your typical order is? yet its turned into people coming and saying 'err no, horrible vile food, totally beneath me'
imagine - if you will - someone making a steak thread on how do you like your steak and several people came in and said 'err no, vile, meat is disgusting and its cruel, don't understand how people can eat the stuff, gruesome and sickening eating a dead animal' between the few people who actualy say how they liked it cooked.

You hunt down a thread that has no relevance to yourself or your lifestyle, and then proceed to inform people as to why not. Because, you know, that was the original question, right?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees how tragic it is.

What's tragic is the frantic desire to paint anyone who doesn't conform to be some sort of snob.
Some folks like different things, for example I like to try small independent places, some are real finds, some distinctly less so. Others like the chain experience, where they know exactly what they will order, time and again. Fair enough, works for them, my nephew is like that, but then he is autistic so in his case that's an explanation.
Some people have made disparaging comments about the place and the clientele, true, others have clearly said that side of things has zero relevance, but yet are similarly tarred with the broad brush snob smear.
It's the inability to accept others' viewpoints that is equally tragic and, frankly, hilarious.

We are mostly men on here and many are married or have female partners. The internet is the only chance we get to be right.blueg33 said:
