Tsk, tsk. You wouldn't catch me watching football for months on end.Apparently, I have been watching football on the tele box solidly for months on end now
So I have told Mrs Wz that I'll take her for dinner tomorrow somewhere nice to make up for it (and there's no football). Now i'm not a cheapskate, but we should have covered all our commitments by about 4 tomorrow, so could possibly make a late lunch, or pre theatre meal (as I believe these cheapskate deals are actually called). There is certainly no football forum on earth I would trust more to ensure this relationship makes it through to it's 44th anniversary.
Fire away with your best bet for a Wednesday afternoon/night
On a serious note, have you been to La Tana, here in Patcham? It's high-end Italian, and can be expensive if you lose track of the bill, which never happens with me.
However.....the quality is exceptional - far better than you would expect in a suburban restaurant. If you do go, try the zucchini fritti - oh my goodness. Note they will try to usher you out by 10.30.
Have a good evening wherever you go.

I've just looked at that and why do I think that the Ivy is pretentious and yet like Cote ?
The reason is because when the Ivy first opened in town @dwayne was all over it like a tramp on chips and my neighbours (he English, she French) told me they liked Cote, that's why
Had a lovely long chat with their teenage daughter one day (and I can't remember why) but I said to her "are you veggie ?" to which she replied "For christ's sake ****, I'm half French"

It was just a quick google and looked a reasonable list….but then your first comment re the Ivy has disproved thatI've just looked at that and why do I think that the Ivy is pretentious and yet like Cote ?

I don’t do restaurants much….treat for me would be sitting on the beach with a sandwich and a tin of shandy

Midday is lunch. If you're having dinner at midday I reckon you're over eighty and in bed by 4pm.
FYI, tea is at 6ish

You're a complete animal.
Pizza on the beach with a can of Shandy
The number of times me and Mrs Wz went to the beach with the kids and a pizza, or East Brighton Park with Fish and chips. The kids used to call the bank "the mountain", you really have to appreciate it while you can

I have NO IDEA what the Brighton one is like, but I found the Liverpool one very agreeable.

Wild Flor in Hove is quite nice.
Lovely staff and pretty decent food.
Always feel its a bit over the odds for what you get but the future ex-Mrs Pevenseagull likes it.

Imodium?I'm liking the look of that. She'll have the Calamari and Mussels, I'll have the Oysters and Mussels
What more could a couple in their 60s want

I know a weight lifting pro that used to call that double Mussels.
I don't think I've been all over the ivy for about 20 years, it's a bog standard chain these days and might as well be cote.I've just looked at that and why do I think that the Ivy is pretentious and yet like Cote ?

I have been to the one in Brighton though, it wasn't terrible.
