WTF is Manchester looking like Moscow in Glatnost

[BlueMoonRisin’]

It always amuses me seeing the Trendy's queuing outside Ezra & Gill for their pumpkin on toast.

Pumpkin on fuckin' toast? : /

Anyone ordering that shit should be sent to Alcatraz and bummed by a strap on corn of the cob.

For some, ie Misty, that wouldn’t be classed as punishment

There’s nothing wrong with eating well. I’ve become a discerning eater in recent years and haven’t been this slim for a long time. Cheese omelette, toast, juice and tea was £22 somewhere once. I’d expect £10 tops.

Had an early morning mooch about town and now having a quiet pint in Cask before a bus home and I thought I was in Russia as the cold war ended

Federal
Gooey bakery and cafe
Ezra & Gil

Why the fuck are people queing outside several cafes for hrs on end ????

Sorry but fuck off, if you are hungry you go n eat, what sad **** spends an hour in a queue to buy avacardo on toast or fucking pain au chocolat

wierdos get in the fucking pub and buy a fry up or go lidl for a croissant

I'm a regular visitor at Orlando Airport, picking up / dropping off students for where I work and I have to go through security to either meet them at the gate or drop them off at the gate.
As soon as I'm through security and passing through the shops / eating places, the majority of places just have a few customers in line and then there is Starbucks. A line snaking around roped barriers, and loads waiting in the corner who have ordered online. Can't these fuckers cope without a fix of caffine for a few hours?
When I'm catching a flight it's straight to the bar!
Dozens and dozens of people stood in line waiting to order a latte or some other named shite coffee.....

Fuck queuing I'll only do it if it's absolutely necessary and never by choice. I have to do it at airports if I want to go abroad, to get into football and in a supermarket to buy food. Small queues are inevitable but I'm not waiting in a large slow moving one unless I have very little choice.

I can do quite a good impersonation of a tannoy by cupping my hands and shouting. A few times I've been stuck in a queue somewhere with about two slow moving till operators working and six other tills sitting unmanned. Meanwhile loads of staff are mooching about behind the scenes doing fuck all but pretending to be busy. Tk Max is a prime example of this. I cup my hands and shout, "All till operators to tills, all till operators to tills please!" It works 99% of the time, much to the amusement and delight of those near me in the queue. Whether they think it's a real announcement, or it shames a manager into actually doing something, I don't care. It gets more tills opened lol.

I'll have to try that myself. So far the best I can come up with is throwing all the stuff back on the nearest shelf and fucking off whilst muttering, "useless cunts".

Can I go without having to buy the pumpkin on toast?

 

[Phil1]

Sounds like I have more options for a decent fry up in Spain than in Manchester.
Full Monty with OJ and tea/coffee for less than a fiver in funny money.

Not that I indulge of course, my body is a temple…
Funnily enough breakfast is the only meal of the day I eat indoors and don’t go out for.
Crumpets, bacon and runny poached eggs are my go to, though crumpets are getting fucking expensive these days thanks to you brexit motherfuckers! :-)

Yes but no Smiths or Morrisons songs are allowed to be played, mate. You can be dry bummed in silence ; )

 

[Deleted member 13905]

Pollen is great.

can you still get it?
my man has struggled since brexit.
he refuses to stock that superstrong smelly shite,
but he does have some lovely thai cotton.

Behind the sweetcorn their lies, a murderous desire, to shit...

 

[Grassland Blue]

Toby carvery breakfasts are £5:99.
Drinks increase the price to around £8:50.
Not bad.

 

[East Level 2]

The cafe down Lloyd st off Albert square used to one such place , of course now gone

As was the Greek or Turkish cafe on the corner of Shudehill and Thomas Street.
The Abergeldi or something?

Bubble tea is lovely

This thread is not to knock the shops, pollen pastries are top notch, this is asking what kinda fool spends an hr or more in a line though for a doughnut and coffee

Have you seen the Bubble Tea queues? I’d much prefer a cup of PG Tea.

came out of Crown and kettle today about 7 people in there, walking past a coffee shop on way to the next pub and it was packed, said to my missus go and get a pint you soft cunts.

Cafe North is the only place I go to for a full fry up, always good quality and the place has a decent vibe about it.

It used to be even better when a rather tasty Polish waitress used to work there alas not to be seen since covid lockdown.

Crumpets are disappearing in the UK....used to get 8 to the pack of Warbies now it's 6 and I swear like Waggon Wheels they're getting smaller too.

The Chinese community (think there is a massive student residence around Oxford rd area) seem to be the majority of the people queuing at Federal and other places.
