in my teens and early 20's it was a regualar thing at weekends,the usual thing was to start a argument with your mate,tell him to get outside and then leg it:hihi: another favourite was the induz beneath the classic cinema the toilets were half way up the stairs so that was quite easy but not to often obviously.this weekend hobby was always followed by jumping the taxi home

only ever got caught once aswell,that was in the himalaya just off glossop road,coppers told us to empty our pockets,we had about 2 quid between us,the sergant told the manager to accept the 2 quid and put it down to experiance,when we got outside the coppers justy laughed and let us go.

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Should have made you wash the pots !

Nope, I have never done anything like this - but always willing to learn from the master.....

Or cant you run that fast these days :hihi:

My mate did, but not because he didn't want to pay. He got chased out of the curry house by meat cleever wielding Asians cos he was dancing on the table singing " Salman, Salman Rushdie, Salman Rushdie, Saaalman Ruuuuusddie..hey!":help:

Am I the only one on here that doesn't find this remotely funny?!

Kirky, I'm sure you'd be laughing if someone decided to help themselves to your possessions cos they couldn't be arsed to pay for anything.

Not doen a runner as such, but me and my mates when we was younger for a joke once went into a restaurant, all ordered loads and loads of food, and walked out while they went off to prepare the food. :)

I once kidded the kids that we were running away without paying. Told them to get their coats and run out of the door when no-one was looking.

It was one of those places that you pay when ordering.

The indus eh!! god that brings back memorys {mixed grill}on a fri night after comming out of the penthouse i once refused to pay and they called the cops on us the meat was well burnt it was like eating rubber even tho i was pi**ed any how when the cops said i had to pay something towarsds the cost i gave them a couple of quid i think the the full price was about £7 the cops agreed with me about the meat lol!! the same bloke had a indus in docaster he was dodgey he was always leering after the chicks the classic cinema was next door for the midnite movies and the old cop box in the square had some beatings in there lol when i was the worst for wear lol!! in those days it was a good beating with the leather gloves round your chops and sent on your way lol!!:thumbsup:

Never thought there were people who diid that and what's more brag about it.
I suppose you have the excuse that you were young and probabley drunk, but Kirky what would your Mother say.

Oh well, thats ok then - as it was a long time ago it doesnt count.:loopy:

Youre lucky it was the police that caught you. I knew someone who tried it but got caught and was promptly taken 'round the back' and given a good shoeing. Rightly so, the theiving little bugger (which is also what you were, no matter how long ago and how many 'smilies' you use)

I was in Edinburgh with my brother and a friend of mine. The restaurant wasn't particularly full and when we asked to pay they said we'll be right with you. We waited, and waited but no one came. We asked again and still we were left waiting. We decided to give them 5 more minutes and if they didn't come then we would go. So we did just that! My friend actually said goodbye on his way out!

I have never done this and I doubt that I ever will.

My morals are too high :) (is there a halo smiley?)

Alright, so if someone stole from you then that would be unacceptable, but it's acceptable for you to steal from someone else and pass it off as a juvenile prank?!

Oh, I don't have a high horse btw!

why don't we all burgle Kirky's house just for the larf.... :gag:

Been there got the tee shirt:
Back in the 70s me and a mate did a runner 3 times from the induz, got away twice and on the third time we got coped and they made us pay so we went round the back and nicked a sack full of onions, then we went to the square with this sack and queued for 15 mins for a taxi, the stupid things you do when your young and intoxicated,:loopy:

I should think so, it was only last week :D

Laugh if you will... I got chased into the parking lot by the owner, who demanded the menu back in front of all the customers eating in their cars. :blush: Scarred me for life.

It was a few years ago, by the way.

edinburh again. had meal. asked, waited , forgot about it and left. same in Chinatown in london

Done it a few times, sometimes just left a few quid so if we were caught, blagged it as a mistake. Used fit mates car with false plates and put my m/bike tank in the boot and spin out of the petrol station with about 20 gals. Taxis were paid by the slowest person to leg it!!

to idle to bother nowadays, not to mention age slowing me down!!

I can't enjoy my meal without leaving with pockets full of ketchup sachets & those little bags of emergency sugar.

Never, although i have had the runners when i have left a restaurant though, if that counts :D

It was a retro 1950s-style diner. Very "Happy Days." You know, waitresses on roller skates bringing food to cars. Jan & Dean and the Beach Boys blaring on the sound system. Burgers, onion rings and chocolate Cokes on the menu. A '57 Chevy and lots of neon on the roof.

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: It is a phase lads go through, done it all myself kirky it was a right scream. All part of growing up, but it is a shameful ehen you think about it:hihi:

My friend was with a group of people (all whom were well off enough and bright enough to know better) who decided after far too much wine in Pizza Express to try to leg it without paying.

They all jumped up and ran to the door...


...to find it locked because it was the end of the night and the restaurant had closed.

Needless to say the waiter was not impressed. Doh.

Chicken Monkey

You taking the pi_ _, Kirky?

no mate i'm impressed:)
