Sorry about your problems.
The pie and mash line almost sounds like a joke ... if only ... I have eaten in there tho, but no consequences.
I had some bad news this morning, a friend of some years ago, think I first knew him from 1996 - 7 -ish (we first conversed via Usenet - remember that?), he used to run a Kate Bush fan forum, anyway I knew he had cancer for a while, and just learned today he passed away yesterday. Vegetarian, non-smoker, go figure.
However I do remember him smoking a bit of weed some years ago, no actual tobacco tho as far as I can recall.
So that was a bummer.
Another 1 less Xmas card I'll be getting.
