Here we go again you might say, but this is becoming a serious issue as far as I'm concerned.
I don't mind paying over the odds to watch my football team get panned by our local rivals, I don't mind paying my SKY tv subscription to watch the same programmes over and over again but what I do take exception to is paying for the pleasure of crappy chinese takeaways.
On Tuesday night I headed for my favourite chinese food outlet only to find it was closed, so desperately craving a fried rice special I decided to pull up outside an unknown quantity - The Whai Fai restaurant (I won't give address for legal reasons! )
I must have waited half an hour to take home the poorest example of chinese culinary known on the plate. The rice was tasteless, the sauce was tasteless and so were the chips. It tasted microwaved to me, not fried.
I should have known I was in a bad place as no-one else came in for a takeaway in that 30 mins so I only have myself to blame.
It baffles me how places like this make a profit churning out such crap.
