re: restaurant service; personally, I don't really like restaurants at all, and would be happier with RC's beans on toast. I don't like having to wait around in a public place for food, nor feeling I need to eat a lot to make it worth going there, and in this country at least, the food is usually over priced and to often not good enough.

Would have to agree with this last statement.
Decent food is pretty hard to find outside of London.
Hence recent trip to Paris.

We ate in a fancy French restaurant in the UK, and a few days later ate better food in France, which was still cheaper after you took off the cost of getting there.

That said I know some brilliant and really cheap restaurants in London. Again it's about knowing where to go - for example there are some cracking seafood restaurants in Devon and Dorset (really lovely fresh food).
The problem with Britain though is the quality of produce (especially in supermarkets) is quite poor. Much prefer farm shops.
That's what Europe has above us, consistent high quality produce.
I recently had a meal at a famous cornish chefs restaurant and to be honest I've had better at a two for one pub. The real secret to good food is fresh ingredients, if you have that and basic skill you can eat cheaply. In Paris I always found the food was better in the street cafes than the fine dining restaurants and the ambiance much better.
Great, now you're all bragging about how great the food is in France, where you go every weekend on your private jets to eat raw horse burgers and larks tongues and unicorn testicles with cutlery made from Unobtainium.
Really, shove it right up your butts.
FOOD SNOBS!
