The Voyager space probe launched in 1977 is the only man-made object that has travelled beyond our solar system. As part of the programme a gold plated audio-visual disc was attached should the probe ever meet intelligent life forms from other planets. The only contemporary musical recording on the disc was Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Goode. NASA had hoped to include a recording of the Beatles, but they could not get a licensing agreement…

The key to a Tapas restaurant is getting the serving sizes right. Nothing more annoying than spending as much as a normal dinner and leaving hungry. Half a normal portion is about right.

Surely quality of food, service and price come before serving sizes?

I much preferred you when I thought you were a markets man, a Wall Street expert…

No, not when it comes to tapas. You have to assume the quality is there, the price should be about 50% a normal plate and if you don’t have good service shut down now.

It’s about serving sizes, how people feel about value for money when they leave.

Dead right. I think Wooly should consider a carvery/tapas restaurant.

@anon7035031 is the self appointed spokesperson for everybody that eats in Tapas restaurants,

3903

Correct. It’s my favorite style of eating, but you want to know the best spots. Some get it right, some get it wrong, like anything. It’s not like firing out a plate of meat and spuds like most cunts on here are used to, including the so called urbanites.

We’re lucky you don’t charge us for that kind of insight.
