I had a really old guy come and talk to me while I was on the leg press. Mildly annoyed that I had to pause my music and ask him to repeat what I assumed would be an unsolicited form check, he just said I was doing great and knee position was perfect. It was just super sweet, and now I think of it every time I leg press. Wholesome.

There's a couple who are in their 60s and I've never spoken to them more than the occasional "nice work" we give each other. It's super wholesome.

What's yours?

Not sure if she saw I was probably completely green/grey and took pity, or is just great at her job, but it was great customer service, very kind, and I really appreciate it. She sped up my time in there loads by scanning it all through the self checkout herself, which I totally wasn't expecting, then by the time I'd paid she'd been to the locker and returned with my parcel.

She's probably the reason I made it home without having to puke in a bush!

Even ignoring a grown woman talking to geese, I've never said "geesey-boops" in my entire life, I've never heard anyone else say it either, I don't know where it came from, but now I've said it and someone witnessed it.

ETA: adding the outcome to the top. Based on the many recommendations from you lovely people, I've booked Bubala. I'm really excited about it too. Thank you to (almost) everyone who commented!

I'm taking my Mum for lunch on Sunday, it's not a special occasion but we don't meet up that often. We're both very open minded foodwise, no dietary restrictions, and I'm the foodie.

My current options are:

Firebird, Soho - I love the food here, and I haven't tried their lamb yet, and I can get a 50% discount.

Bubala, Soho branch - never eaten here but hear great things. Can get a 30% discount.

75 at Liberty - 2 options here: afternoon tea is £50pp and they have a special flower theme at the moment. The reviews seem great. And it's Liberty.
Option 2 would be their regular menu which looks great, and that option has an offer which is 25% off menu price.

Would love someone to give me a good reason to choose one of these options, or to discard any, because I've been just stuck on the booking pages of all 3 all day!

I'd really love to hear from anyone who has eaten at 75, and especially if you've had the afternoon tea.

Thanks!
