    How times change.

    Just walked through Leadenhall Market. The New Moon is empty yet opposite is a queue of 30 people waiting for a £6 salad pot....

    The city is a soulless place as a result of the £6 salad pot. I wonder how our economy sustains the many coffee/sandwich chains. It seems to be the most prevalent form of business in London. Then all of a sudden someone comes along with a new take on a sandwich, like wrap it up, yet we mindlessly flock toward it like it's something ground breaking. It's basically another sandwich place, the bread simply being replaced by a wrap

    Ah the New Moon.
    Used to be our home pub in the City darts league for a few years.

    People attempt to be healthier at the start of the week though-walk past on a Thursday or Friday lunchtime and the New Moon, Lamb and all the other pubs around there will be packed.

    Don't get me started on Coffee shops. They're one of the reasons British culture is vanishing in front of our eyes.

    When they totally replace pubs in the homogeneous soulless society we live then I hope the population are happy.

    When I was an apprentice 13 years ago we would go pub at lunchtime and not come back now there is no danger of that for fear of being sacked

    That still happens, just not as frequently.
  • I used to work in publishing, Friday lunchtimes were basically 2 or 3 pints. Stroll back to the office & basically mess about on the Internet until it was time to go home!
