Healthy Eating!!!
Conversation overheard in 'Metrochef Cafe', Holloway Road, 5 women, 4 of them order 'Chicken Burger and Chips' the fifth one "I aint havin chips, they're unhealthy", "can I have a double cheeseburger with no salad, I don't like salad"
It's good to see that the NHS healthy lifestyle campaigns are having an effect!

More 'Up the Holloway'!
In search of a quiet Saturday lunch-time feed I went to the Masterchef Cafe on the Holloway Road, a place I know well. The cafe was virtually empty, but within minutes of sitting down, ordering a mushroom omelette, chips and beans, 2 slice and a tea and contemplating the Guardian crossword, my relative peace and tranquility was shattered!
The waitress, a loud 50 something fellow Scot, yelled something to her daughter, who was sitting in the cafe with her two kids, who both started to scream.
Her daughter yelled something back and it continued! Then things took a turn for the worst, the daughters friend came walking in, she then started yelling and then her mobile phone rang and she started yelling in to that.
By this time I was truly rattled and trying to finish my lunch as quickly as possible, finally suffering from indigestion I escaped.

More 'Up the Holloway'
The Green Jade, 219 Holloway Road is a great place for Chinese food, take-away or sit down. It is more of a cafe than a restaurant but the quality of the food is excellent and very cheap.
I have lunch there quite often and on one of my recent visits overheard the following discourse between a customer and the woman behind the counter.
The punter had been standing looking at the menu for a good few minutes and then said "I don't like chinese food", the counter woman replied "well this is a chinese restaurant", "yeah but haven't you got anything else", "no, you will have to go somewhere else", "don't be so rude", "i'm not being rude, this is a chinese restaurant"
- at this point she walks out complaining loudly!!!
I wonder if she goes into her local Fish & Chips shop and asks for a Chicken Tikka Masala???
