The one and only rule is: Derek can’t be involved. He’s way too old and couldn’t possibly do without oxygen for 10 seconds or less… plus I reckon he’s the kind of guy who drinks that 0% alcohol.wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 9:11 pmjamesg46 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 8:56 pmHmmm 10 seconds… I think we could get ourselves a forum challenge!

I'd stick to the pie-eating contest if I were you. Got a feeling you'd win it.jamesg46 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 9:59 pmThe one and only rule is: Derek can’t be involved.

Why on earth would you want to down a pint of the black stuff in 10 seconds? Savour it, dude. Savour it!wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 6:36 pmI know nowt about Python....but can down a pint of Guinness in 10 seconds, does that qualify?

Gotta be steak pie though & definitely not £13 quid a go.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 10:09 pmI'd stick to the pie-eating contest if I were you. Got a feeling you'd win it.
That's why he'd win it, he'd be the only competitor.wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 10:12 pmNot at those prices!!
Talking of prices, I'm in London now. I popped into a nice but fairly modest cafe for breakfast, nowhere near central London. A full English breakfast was £9.75!
And I've noticed the Counting House is a stone's throw from Liverpool Street Station. I'd love to pop in on my way back, order one of these pies, photograph and post it here but I'm leaving early afternoon next week. Can't make next week but I'll definitely turn up to a future event, I'm only a train ride away.
Edit: Actually there's no need to go to that trouble. From the menu pic I think there's a serious imbalance of pie/veg/chips or some more substantial side!

I’d like to come to one of these events though I agree that £13 for a pie and chips in London is excessive.
If you ever hold one of these meet ups at a northern based Macdonalds, then I’d definitely attend.
