Bloody gorgeous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bloody gorgeous.  That was the one it was my favourite butty to.They used to do a MM (Martin Manterfield) special which if I remember was a Cheg Burger with tinned tomatoes on. Happy days, a night in the Daisy followed by a walk to Vera's and then a walk home getting in around 4 a.m.Also remember that if you were skint you could get a tomato dip which was a bread cake dipped in the tomato juice,cost next to nowt.
