Hi Roger,
You`re probably right of course, but then the tourists` search is going to
take up some considerable valuable time trudging off the beaten track, (an
enjoyable experience for some) looking for the very pub which will cater for
this dish. I`ll bet you a pound to an American burger that it is probably
easier to find than what >I originally stated, - go to Piccadilly, and the
Ritz will probably sell you that very same dish for about 25 English
smackers.
Not >my idea of "bangers`n`mash" tho`. When all said and done tho`, it`s
getting rarer. I tell you what - - -next time you`re in London, you find a
place within 24 hours that sells "traditional" bangers`n`mash for around £5,
and I`ll meet you and buy it for you. If you can find a Young`s pub that
also does it, I`ll buy you beer also, for the whole evening. How`s that for
an offer!? You`ll have to see me home safely tho` afterwards.
Back to painting doors.
Best Wishes.
Tony W.
