A friend of mine was almost molested by a paedo in there In real terms I guess he was molested because the bastard tried touching him...

... and Maxine's Caff in George Street (Brighton).

Steak Pie and Chips 2s4d
Steak Pie and Veg 2s2d
Chicken Pie and Chips 2s2d
Chicken Pie and Veg 2s4d

Best deal for two - buy Chicken Pie & Chips and Steak Pie & Veg, and swap the pies. Save 4d.

Marvellous.




Anyone remember the Pie Shop in Upper St James's Street (near Vogel's Bakery, where old Mr Vogel used to do freshly fried doughnuts, with half a peach stuffed inside)?
