I've not been dining out so can't comment on that specifically but generally it's been very busy post lockdown. I'd say that's more time of year in part though. My feeling (purely subjective) is it's still down from what it would normally be, but I can understand your neighbour's point as this week I've been taking aback by the numbers around town. With one exception, went to the National Gallery and it was virtually empty- fantastic😀 PS- just as I posted this got a WhatsApp from a pal who'd be dining out in town, said it was rammed, could only get a table for 90 mins.

Golfingboy Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Decided with NFL being on all day, it was time for some carbs and a cheat day. Very happy with my progress so far, down roughly 9 pounds since Monday evening. Edited December 13, 2020 by Golfingboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It consisted of people stating their preference for each of the brands - the conclusion was that each one has a very loyal following. I just moved to the UK and purchased Yorkshire Tea - I will try PG Tips next and make a decision on which one I like best. Stay tuned 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have agreed 100% with this until the last few months. A mate and I who are both tea drinkers have been travelling a fair bit so in an out of lots of hotels and guest houses, most of whom provide Liptons. It has improved remarkably since the "old" days when you dreaded seeing the tell tale string hanging out your cup as the waitress approached. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
