Basically we were off to my dads for xmas day. But he's come down unwell. He'll be fine, but we've had to cancel the trip. So we're staying at home, but in expectation of us going away, i've got bugger all food in.

My question is, do you know of any petrol stations or anything like that open in Brighton and Hove, where I could at least pick up something? The internet isn't being a lot of use.

Cheers in advance of any local knowledge on this

Yep - looks like the local BPs will be open - so choose one which is also an M&S...

You could do a grocery delivery on Uber eats and see whats available.

From checking Uber eats I can see that at least the shell garage on Preston road is open.

Happy Christmas all. I got an Albion cycling jersey, lovely stuff. But I’m usually an XL, and this one is 2XL and it’s still a bit tight. Better cut back on the Quality Street.

Distant from you, but the BP/M&S in Findon is open today, so I suspect anything similar around Brighton will be too.

Is the one at the bottom of Mill Road a BP/M&S too? Failing that, there's one just up the A23 a bit isn't there?

Just shy of Bolney there's an M&S at the services, but not sure if it's open.

Maybe you could go over to @Official Old Man’s place and help him cook lunch?

Seriously, I’d just go out to lunch if I nothing in the freezer - Perhaps go out to a hotel or choose a gastro pub

The BP/M&S on A259 in Hove west of the Hove lagoon sopen but can't vouch for what they might have.

Most are closed and those that aren't won't be serving food today, and those that are will; a) already be fully booked and b) charging a King's ransom for a basic carvery

Some things can be done on-the-fly, but Xmas needs planning ....

Good luck @Nobby Cybergoat

Today's learn.

In 2023 it's really easy to get whatever food you want in Xmas day.

I just went down to the petrol station on kingsway and picked up everything i need to make an Xmas dinner.

Thanks for all the advice on this matter and merry Xmas

 

[Official Old Man]

Easy fella! Youv'e got this job every year from now on, if your not careful. Best over roast the spuds so as to not make your missus feel inferior, and encourage it to be at least a joint effort next year.
Merry Christmas.

Too late. Perfect dinner served right on time. Can't understand why women take 3 days to cook the same as I cooked in 1 morning.

After a mini tour of Sussex to visit family, the kids are in bed, the wife is faffing around unpacking stuff that should wait for tomorrow, the dog is curled up next to me on the sofa with his head on my lap and it's time for my first alcohol of the day... a very large glass of rioja. Soon to be followed by a bourbon on the rocks and BED (6 month old was awake from 1.30 to 4.30 last night and the 2.5 yr old insisted on a 5.30 start to the day 🫣).

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!

Yes I'm having a whinge about the state of my back but Mrs Jakarta and I are all 3 of those, realise that's not the case for many this evening.
