Take Aways

[Dressinggown]

Once of a time you had to enter the premises to pick up your order.

Not any longer.

Sit in your car outside my house with your shitty music on at full pelt until the takeaway rings you to state that your order is ready. Then belt on your horn until a member of staff brings your order to your car.

I've considered using those kiddies water guns and filling them with car paint stripper but I reckon things could backfire, if handled inappropriately.

[Rileybobs]

Why collect when you can stay at home and let someone else's car smell like spring rolls, crispy fried chilli beef in OK sauce, egg fried rice, salt and pepper chips and hopefully free prawn crackers?

[Dressinggown]

Because there is this inbuilt mindset that your delivery will be cold and spoiled by the time it arrives.

I once threw a few eggs at a car recently but have you seen the price of them nowadays ? Cheaper to get a bloody takeaway.

[Dressinggown]

It's so easy to have everything delivered and food has become part of that culture.

Which kid wants a home cooked meal when their mates are getting something from a multi national branded corporation ?

[Dressinggown]

Anything of any worth in terms of food stuff that we produce we sell on to other countries because we have no interest in it.

I still have to go and pick mine up as no one delivers to my house. It’s all part of the ceremony for me

This doesn't happen at any of the takeaways I've used recently

[Tribesmen]

Hard to belive but I myself have never ordered a take away in my own home .

[Dressinggown]

Until recently, I had my Grandkids living with me.

They need to go to bed and sleep at a reasonable time that they can take on the full opportunities that our education system provides during the day.

Yet, these people don't give a flying f*ck.. Nobody seems to give a **** about anybody else.

Is Chilimaster still around? They moved to Colne road many moons ago. Unbelievable how low the prices were compared to what shops charge now.

A mixed meat kebab from Chilimaster was enough for 2 people. These days, a mixed meat kebab isn't even enough for 1 person.

The virtual queue. You go into an empty chippy thinking you’ll be served immediately only to find that they’re making umpteen on line orders and so you’re still stuck there for twenty minutes.
In the olden days it was only the young apprentice from the factory with a cardboard box and twelve orders that you had to beat to the door or be waiting an age. More often than not they’d pay separately for each of the twelve orders too!

... Grandkids living with me.... need to go to bed... at a reasonable time ...

So speaks a man who has either never caused any sort of noise/disturbance after 8:00pm, or one who while not giving a flying f*ck about anyone else, expects everyone else to show him more consideration.

[summitclaret]

I hate them so much. Full of shite and doing so much damage to people's bodies. Expensive as well. Who orders McDonalds chips for delivery. They are cold before they even get in the filthy bags.

Can you provide some evidence of this ?

I can't state that I have not been involved in unsavoury incidents in the past but generally ******* off the general public as a daytime activity is my point.

[Dyched]

There’s really good options all over the place. Things will improve massively over the next 10 years with dark kitchens taking over.

[elwaclaret]

I’m not a regular for takeaways but the last time I physically visited one was before COVID

Have you spoken to the takeaway?

There's a easy solution to that if the service isn't up to scratch just walk out i don't mess about waiting. If more people did it they'd cotton that you have to keep your house in order.

[GetIntoEm]

Where is this takeaway that you beep your horn and they bring it out? Id like to try it

[The Shire Claret]

I've never heard of anything like that before ... Maybe it's not all take aways but that specific one ?

And yeah, that would be annoying

[Rowls]

Sounds ominous. A good kitchen should be well lit.

[AfloatinClaret]

Now that the local kids (your grandkids perhaps amongst them?) are back from school I've had to abandon the job I was working this afternoon due to the noise they're making playing outside. Does their behaviour constitute off *******/don't giving a flying f*ck attitude that ought to be censured?

You need to get out more!

[AlargeClaret]

Do people seriously still collect take aways??
