Re: Al fresco dining - Leed's Style
...and such a healthy meal too

Well done for being so brave with the first entry John

BTW - is there a "concensus" on what time of day is "Dinner Time" ? - in some places "Dinner" means "Lunch" and others it means "Tea Time " or "Supper Time" - this really inportant guys/gals - wouldn't want to see any entries getting disqualified now

And, what about the early cq late lunchers ???

Exactly ! - and for some people that's Mid-Day and others it's early evening - and I daresay that for some Hobbits it's either of their two breakfasts !

The only criteria for entries is that the photograph must be taken by the poster and it is taken during the month of the comp, thats it.
You can interpretate the theme any way you want to, voting determines whether people think the entry fits the theme or not.
So relax and stick in whatever you think fits the theme

"I knew that"

...some folk don't get my sense of humour "sometimes" - although some of the earlier posters obviously did

Re: Al fresco dining - Leeds Style
No doubt had this been a photo of an Acton family they would have been sat at a chic pavement bistro, Gauloises in hand and sipping Perrier?

Why do southerners always have to portray people in the north as somehow backward? I was on a business trip to Croydon town centre recently. Well words fail me. What a grotesque and depressing place!

Ok. Rant over. That location would have been near Graveley's fish and chip shop in Leeds which is close to the markets and bus stops where, ahem, the buses to certain residential areas stop. Not quite the best part of Leeds centre.

No, if it been Acton it would have been a doner kebab outside the bookies, puffing on a joint and swigging Diamond White. We know how to have fun here

Could not agree more about Croydon, but as to the views of us Southerners - give us a break. There was nothing in my original post that was derogatory so why did you take it so?

You are right, it was outside Graveley's and the grub was OK too, but I prefer cod.

It was just the reference to it being Leeds Style, which implied to me a belief that perhaps it wouldn't have happened elsewhere.

I took the photos in Leeds - hence the title.

Re: Al fresco dining - Leed's Style
so backward that Northerners invented most of the technological advances in the last century

P.S The pic could have been taken in any city north or south and looked the same
