Not been, there's one on cologne but not in bonn, we have a few hans im gluck and I'd say theyre on par with handmade burger and whatever the other one was called Some very good independent ones, theyve opened up a 5 guys in the last year too but that's not for me, best thing in that place is the drinks machine, they've also opened up a dunkin donuts which is always disappointing The kebab market is proper fierce with some excellent ones but no one can compete with the bakery market, there's soemthing like 50k odd chain bakeries here (for example there's 2k greggs in the UK) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality still seems spot on, especially for the prices. The double burger was phenomenal, and bacony fries etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I went to Hooters in Santa Monica. My daughter wanted to go and I wanted a beer so off we went. I hated it, it's basic premise is its average at best hand food served by women in a tight top and shorts. I vowed never to go on one again. Then I went to Vegas and again on 2 occasions people I was with were intent on going in, mainly to ogle women. **** depressing place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I went to one in San Diego and got chatting to a local girl there. She seemed surprised to hear me ask why young women would want to come to a place famous for it's busty waitresses unless she was gay or bi....she said it was a great place to meet men as most of the punters were beered up lads.....made sense I guess !

That's $12 a trip bonus. Seems like crazy money but also makes Hooters tips for a week see a bit low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 8 hours ago, Genie said: That’s true but my comment was more about the general service in store and drive through. Eating in is a nightmare now. You have to order at a screen and wait in a huddle with a dozen agitated and frustrated delivery drivers. Then you sit down and it’s noisy and stressful so you eat fast and get out as quick as possible. Drive through usually involves long slow moving queues and the food is cold and limp when you get it home. I think their problems stem from JustEat/Ubereats. They aren’t setup for it and now they are trying to make everyone happy (take everyone’s money) it’s all gone to shit. They should open delivery only kitchens, and leave the other restaurants for eating in/drive through. Like most children mine used to love Mcdonald’s as a treat but they aren’t bothered anymore. Eating in, collecting or getting delivered all comes with downsides that it’s not worth. If you want to take your nippers to Maccies, then the one at Bassets Pole might be good for you. Never seen an Uber Eats/Just Eat/Deliveroo driver there. Admittedly I've only been a handful of times but always ordered at the till instead of the screens and its usually fairly empty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I've been to 2x Hooters. I quite like them to be honest! The food is ok and they serve cold beer! I was on holiday so I was probably in a better mood. A Hooters in Corby or Coventry might not have the same appeal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I said a while back my Mrs had recieved a summons for 'driving without consideration for other road users' letter. It said at the time just to confirm who was driving, even though my Mrs had no idea what she had done. We confirmed the driver so we have now recieved a further letter to take 3 points and £100 fine or a driving course, which has to be paid for ofcourse. But she still has no idea what she has done. We thought there would be an explanation on this letter of the offence, but there isn't. Now, what to do? Just take it we 'may' have committed an offence without even knowing?? I have recommended taking it to court, as it was 0738 in the morning after a 12 hour NHS shift, so depending on what is was for, I cannot see it being any worst, if not, it may even get thrown out, due to insufficient evidence. Note, there was no stop, just a recieved letter, so what is the offence and where is the evidence?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not speeding though. My Mrs drives like miss daisy, so the worst she said it could be is going over the traffic lights on amber red when you are stuck in the middle. But where's the evidence? Is from the police or another driver. Metaphorically, if we took it to court with a solicitor, we would need to defend it. But how can we build a defense if we don't know what she has done?? What are we admitting too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
