Last Friday, my mates came round to my place. We had a 14oz rib eye steak, chips, onion rings, salad, peas etc, for about £5 each! And they weren't small portions either!

Back in the day a lot of places used to pop the corn - Ster Century in Basingstoke did it was nice with golden crispy caramel bits. Now its bland stuff thats been there for days and probably costs them 10p a box to sell.
I must admit I do like the Ice blast / Ice Junky drinks though. Like fizzy slush puppies. Mostly sugar but damn they taste nice. I actually looked to get myself a machine and found they are free.....if you buy several hundred pounds worth of syrup each month

Yeah, I can see your point Les but it isnt "cool" is it turning up with your butties and flask, teenagers dont want a picnic, they want expensive, branded ****e.
My thinking really is that perhaps they could go a whole 2 hours without a meal !
I miss the old cinemas, ours was the Tatton in Gatley, all faded grandeur and plaster mouldings, manky velvet and a little kiosk where you could get the aforementioned Kia-Ora and Poppets, there was a bar and remember the shonky ads for the local Tandoori (just 2 minutes from this cinema), the random features that was on before the main film, usually about an American Scrapyard in the backwoods or the Idatarod Sled Dog race, little views of a bigger world.
The Intermission doesnt happen now, not sure why, was a good opportunits for a ****, now the drinks are four times bigger and no intermission, I remember when a can of Coke seemed massive, ,I remember the little refrigerated tray they used to come round with, full of stuff that was too expensive, I remember my grandad getting me a Mint Cornetto once, may as well have been Rolex, lollies back then were a Cider or lemonade one for 10p off the ice cream van, or if funds were limited a mug of Vimto stuck in the freezer, if things were really bad and you hadnt remember to put one in too freeze it was just Vimtop with the all the frost you could scrape off the inside of the freezer, it had a flavour all its own
