i just wanted a double decker. not four slightly-too-small ones, not one king size one split into two chunks, just one (1) regulation-sized double decker. we used to be a proper country.

you're probably more well-travelled than me, a parochial british oaf. i've been to the states and a few places in europe, that's about it?

git 'r doner. it's a bit like gyros, i suppose?, but turkish instead of greek. it's a big cylinder of sweaty lamb that you find in late night burger shops, and they carve off strips of it for you on demand. it's pretty great
