The Restaurant 2009

I think the Winkers will win. Raymond loves JJ and has said several times that he's trainable, and he thinks he has a good palate ... which is like gold dust in all these programmes. Plus Sarah keeps going on about their business savyness and at the end of the day they want to make a profit. I'd put money on them winning now... I can't see the judges going into business with Nathan, Chris yes, but not Nathan, however much he's improved.



I agree. Rebecca has been the weakest link in an emotional sense for most of the series, but tonight Steve became weak too, and with two weak links they just had to go. Shame but not unexpected from about half way through tonights ep.
 
Looking further at their website, especially the gallery showing they were in OK magazine back in May, shows how well they were doing then. Why could RB, Sarah etc. not just go ahead and invest in them without the farce of the last 8 weeks and save us all time?
 
Wood pigeons are indeed a pest and can ruin a crop given half a chance. Because they are officially recognised as such, there is no closed season for them and they one of the few game meats that can be eaten in the summer. Very tasty they are too:)

They shouldn't be confused with town pigeons (AKA flying rats), which are disease ridden and it really wouldn't be a good idea to consume one:eek:
 
An uncle of mine was an army cook, but he was also trained as a machine gunner. Mind you, that was in the Dutch army when there was still conscription.
