LB: what a romantic....er..except wouldn't the 9 1/2wks with pizza burn??

Yes, let's face it CH is not take away food orientated. Let me take that back. Not food orientated at ALL! A decent chinese take away/delivery? Only a flight to the UK away. A decent curry? Only a few clicks away on an expat forum to discover where 'is' worth going. Pizzas? Now there's plenty of choice here...if you like soft, soggy & cold upon delivery. A nice romantic meal out? There are plenty of options to choose from here for unfriendly staff & 'the customer is not at all right'.

If that doesn't tempt you into dieting or home cooking, I don't know what will....I know, I know!! Move back home

Actually, I make it a point of mine to 'discover' nice restaurants, with great food & service....except now I'm beginning not to share them as much as then they become over popular & the age old prob of slipping standards starts!!
