Little Chef

Just had to look on google maps at the location of the last one I remember near Dumbarton, it is now a Starbucks

What a shock! :roll: I tried a drive-through Starbucks once, there was glass everywhere and I spilled my mocha-choca-loca.

I was born in the 80s. My memory of the Little Chef from growing up and going on family holidays in the UK was that it was the last resort. I won't miss it either and am perfectly happy going to a Starbucks!
 
Well I miss them!

My mate and I must have visited quite a few when he was racing on the oval circuits back in the 90s and when we were going for a day out spectating at various racing circuits.

They must have been one of the first places to offer an all-day breakfast, and were way better (and cheaper) than Motorway services!

Starbucks is just too poncy for me. :lol:
 
When working in the UK in the 70’s LC’s seemed upmarket and I enjoyed their fare. As for Starbucks, here in NZ the coffee has been described as - “ over roasted, over priced and over here”. Horses for courses.
 
Many visits to the little theif on the A50 west of Derby for a regular business trip, it was either the Olympic breakfast - set up for the day or the other side of the roundabout to McD's - Whilst I get the sentiment, tell me which you'd choose :poke: :rofl:

I expect you mean cannae, not canny. Canny means nice or shrewd.
You expect wrong, spelling can be either or, a bit like jobbie/jobby

Nah!, not like jobbie/jobby. Scots say nae for not, so cannot is cannae. :poke:

Not at all, the 40M+ residents of England get no say on Scottish independence - that is apparently decided by the 4M or so Scots.

Anyway having a father born in Invenesshire and a mother born in Kent my allegiances are a bit torn!

Regardless of that AFAIK "cant" is spelt "can't" either side of the border. :lol:

+1 I'm not allowed in Starbucks anyway as I don't own an iPad.

That makes sense - I don't have an iPad either. :thumbsup: :lol:

Depends whether you mean "cant" as in "total cant"
