Don’t get me wrong I think those sort of prices are outrageous but if people pay it, they will continue to charge it

I agree that it can be expensive to eat out but sometimes I just feel like splurging. I haven't had a Goodman's steak for 3/4 years so I think it's about time. I have a simple method for budgeting a meal, if your main meal is say £30 double the cost that will most likely be your bill for the evening e.g. starters, dessert wine, coffee.

Special steak? Eating out is a total rip off. So called posh food is just another way to relieve people of their hard earned money. The standard of food in this country is generally rubbish and vastly inflated in price. Most of it you could get from Sainsbury's and easily cook at home. Add it to stupid, impractical home makeovers and ridiculous gardens on the list of ways the upper middle class rip off the plebs. Don't get me started on antiques and restored furniture.

Such as? Mediterranean gardens. Really? In England? Wooden decking and seating that will be knackered with a few years of weathering and needs painting every year. Rock gardens that will look nice for 5 minutes. Perfect white walled show homes with arty bollocks strewn all over it when you have kids?

What I really dislike about all this 'high end' so called fine dining is the way they maul the food about with their hands in the kitchen.......

Yeah the first time I ever saw decking it registered maintenance in my head. Wood getting wet always does. Yeah tiles can be fecking lethal. Could’ve injured or killed myself a few times.

Edited by Rudi Hedman (10 Aug 2021 3.30pm) decking just needs a pressure wash once a year & ideally a fresh coat of oil / preservative.
