Fat Old Fart (weekly bulletin)

91.7 ! OOPS! A gain of half a kilo!

Bit of a hiccup, but to be expected as I've been back in the UK for a few days, enjoying an orgy of gluttony and self-indulgence. No salatious revelations I'm afraid, merely a confession of swilling copious amounts of Courage Directors Bitter and Pub Food in and around the beautiful county of Kent.

Because of the drink/drive laws Country Pubs tend more and more to concetrate on food and some we tried were of this new breed of "Gastro-Pubs", which serve up-market trendy restaurant style food. Here follows a guide for your average Townie, who might venture into the green belt or further, in search of sustinance on how to recognise a "Gastro-Pub":-

(1) They are surround by at least an acre of neatly marked out asphalt

(2) Starters cost from £8.95 and main courses £14.95. I think the .95 is key here but further research is necessary.

(3) Instead of chips being scooped onto your plate, 4 chips are laid neatly side by side and then another 4 laid neatly at right angles on top of these and then another 4 in the same direction as the bottom layer
