I'm guessing here but I reckon there's more of a chance when thinking of a new name for a bar that they went on the piss down Call Lane rather than searched for ideas from Mayfair.
I've no idea where they got the idea from but it's highly likely, nay almost certain, they borrowed it too. I wasnt suggesting for one minute it was an original name.
I tell you what, it's dark in Ella Street Social. You have to really stare into your hand at your money when you're at the bar, just to see it. They insist on those trendy light bulbs where you can see the ziggy zaggy lighty bits, but they give off **** all light. A case of fashion trumping usefulness.
Yer , its owned by a company called Living Ventures, under their New World brand.They have lots of Bars around the country and about six in Manchester alone.
Just some I have made - but it could be just you who is right and the 500 or so who have bought from me are wrong. please log in to view this image Made one for a Juventus supporter last week: please log in to view this image
Heston Blumenthal wears those big glasses because Lee Dixon hit him in the face with a bog brush covered in bleach, nearly blinded him.
Speaking of foodies being up their own arse, I enjoyed reading this yesterday and the comments section. Knew about Moet (hard t) and I've always said broosket-ta just cos I speak the lingo, however I never twigged about choreetho. Of course it's not choritso (which I've always said), it's Spanish not Italian. I say fajita (hard j) and Kwinoa cos it amuses me: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeands...nley-whittingstall-jay-rayner-unpronounceable
