How are everyones kids faring through this? We have some seriously heightened emotions with ours, the miss especially. So quick to tears!
I reckon they miss the interaction, routine, and sport/activities way more than I expected .
Kids have been pretty good, lots of video chat with friends and cousins helped. My boy asked to be home schooled!
Have said their school is now like a prison, they have chain link fences up everywhere splitting up the school.

The world just got a whole lot better.
I went there once and they’d run out of... chicken.
-
@Catogrande that must have been a couple of years ago then? I was in NZ when that happened. Thank fuck.
Although it did happen to me in Wellington about twenty years ago.

Yeah a few years ago. Was the evening of the FiL’s funeral. We all ended up at the Cricketers near Perry Hall Road and needed some sustenance. All we could get was some popcorn “chicken” and heaps of chips. Bloody funny funeral, first one I’d been to where they all posed for photos like at a wedding. Then some pigeons got into the crem at Beckenham and started shitting everywhere. Followed by the classic quote “Doves. Nice touch”.
Lots went on but I remember the lack of chicken most clearly.

@Catogrande oh, that end of town.

It’s still not the Cray though 😱

@Catogrande shit, honestly have only been to the white heart down that way. If we're heading down high street it's usually to somewhere like Pato Lounge which is good for a feed and a beer.

The White Hart still going then? There used to be three or four all within a few yards. The WH, the Anchor & Hope, The Artichoke. It’s like losing a close relative.

@Catogrande it's still going, I'm pretty sure it was the one we went to a couple of times when we started looking here. Well priced, no frills eh. Not as well priced as Sovereign of the Seas though 😬
-
@Catogrande have you been to the bull's head at Pratt's bottom (no seriously)?
It's well placed for us for a good sunny day walk and booze up so thinking it might be early on the out of lockdown list.

When I worked at KFC we ran out of chicken a couple of times, usually late on a Sunday (delivery was Friday) after an overly busy weekend...people were not very understanding, can't understand why.
-
@taniwharugby when it happened to me it was after the Tool concert in Welly city. It was horrendous. Pissed up hyper bogans everywhere and no chicken.
-
@Catogrande any good though?
-
I had KFC yesterday and it was awesome. Wicked Wings are amazing

It was but my memories are 20 years out of date. Example: I used to really like a pub called the Bo Peep out Chelsfield way. Lovely pub for a Sunday lunchtime pint and a bite to eat. Revisited it last year and was disappointed. Not awful but not what I remembered.
Best place I’ve been to up that way over the last few years was the British Queen at Locksbottom.

@Catogrande s'funny, we visited BQ earlier this year I think and you made me realise it was very forgettable. Black Horse do much better food than you'd think down Locks way, that'd be my preference (cheap and cheerful).
