The Cost Of Living Crisis

Anyone felt the pinch yet?

Notice a good proportion of my hotels are quiet this week. But with the jubilee round the corner and pride the week after maybe folk are simply saving their trips for that.

Cant help but feel the media are driving a lot of it. They seem hell bent on us heading into a recession. Making people panic and stop spending.

They should be telling everyone its all gravy.

Only area Ive felt it is diesel. £154 to fill my van the other day. That's taking the piss.

Five Guys is the same.

Food’s decent but in the end it’s a fckin burger and chips.

took my lad to one in london a few months ago and think it was over £30 for a couple of cheeseburgers and fries with a drink.

I agree, it's a bit expensive, but far, far better than a McDonalds effort.

wife doesnt do takeaways, but shes a big als fan

Looks ok tbf. Anyone eating on Tonge Moor Rd needs to take a look round the back of the place too. Most of them are absolute shit tips.

i'll check out the TMR place

that new (?) pizza place sent us a nice looking flyer

Had a dodgy kebab from big Als last time round. The "chicat" was an odd texture and unpleasant. Put me right off.

Lad still having them and he says they're back to being good.

The burgers are good though, if a touch greasy with all the cheese etc. 

I'm on a pre-Xmas shred so no takeaways here.
