A pilgrimage across southern England

[katie23]

Tiffin is also an old word which I think originated during the colonial days of India, it meant a small meal or snack. 'Tiffin and tea on the terrace Albert?', something like that.

Yeah, this is what I know of the tiffin. I know it as the rounded metal lunch containers of Indian/ South Asian people. In India, they have "tiffin walas or dabbawalas" who go around selling lunches to office workers.



@mendy - enjoy London. Hope your stay at Travel lodge is ok, despite the lack of WiFi.

It's a London thing, but double pie/double mash/liquor and a splash of vinegar cannot be beat.

a side order of jellied eels for the experience as well!

Don't they deliver what the wife has packed for hubby from home? Trains before the bikes as well.

Yeah, I've never heard of this chocolate UK version either. However Google confirms it's a thing.

I feel that I should put this myth to bed Katie, although there are plenty of other posts I need to reply to as well. The Travelodge does have Wifi but you have to pay. I went for the £9 for 72 hours for two devices option which thankfully will cover this trip and ain't too bad.

We have a busy day ahead of us today and I'm meeting up with a couple of mates in the afternoon, but I'm pretty knackered after my first night in the hotel.

This Travelodge was a good deal and a great location and all that, but I'm starting to regret it. The trains seem to start early in London and the 'double' bed is only about 3 foot wide as well. The daughter's had a great sleep of course.

That's about 3 1/2 pier entries! or 2 icecreams!


Just visit a Starbucks and get their free wifi!

Pate fois groi Dill

^^ It was exactly two ice creams on Westminster Bridge yestetday and one didn't even have a flake. The robbing b@stards. And £6 for two small bottles of water!

[Reg Dingle]

^ How much was the black cab you said you were gonna treat the daughter to?

[Mendip]

About £12 from Paddington to Vauxhall train station. Not bad once you're used to Norwegian taxi prices. We took another today... haven't risked the tube trains yet.

[DrWilly]

Grab/Uber will be half that…

I know you're going to claim I'm stalking you but just stop making shit up. There's no way an Uber is going to be £6 in London.

When in central London the best way to explore is on foot.

Maybe grab a black cab for the experience and a red doubledecker bus.

But Uber...

Its 8.10 for an Uber via a search on Google, probably in some Albanians stinking 20 year old Vauxhall Corsa.

You wouldn't put it past Mendy to go back that way now though

[malmomike77]

haven't risked the tube trains yet.

Why an earth not? outside rushn hour they are an excellent way to get around, stops at all the main attractions, easy to navigate and not expensive.

[Reg Dingle]

easy to navigate

I think that's the bit he's struggling with.
Me too tbh. Think I'll just get a cab

[malmomike77]

^ Strange that, it was originally designed to be child proof. Perhaps he could get Mini to take him around.

[Reg Dingle]

^ How do I get from Marylebone to Chelsea?

He’s fucking extraordinary, isn’t he.

Sometimes it seems like a household pet’s take on things.

And it can actually be quite engaging on that level, I must admit.

Oh, that’ll be £2.99 on bingle.
