How long ago?
Probably about 30 years ago when they built the new Churchill Precinct. Hall Street isn't there anymore.

And the bread spread with marmalade!
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Bread and butter pudding - yuck (sorry), I can't say how much I dislike bread and butter pudding - it's to do with the custard soaking into the bread, same goes for summer pudding (fruits okay, but not the bread!) and trifle. I did once try bread pudding (stale bread soaked in milk, them squeezed; spices and dried fruit added - then baked in the oven like a cake - I think), that was somehow okay. Only had it once though!

Bread and Butter pudding is the second most revolting food next to sprouts. I used to hate Rice Pudding as well. I do like Spotted Dick though. And Sticky Date pudding.

Sprouts is another hate of mine , think it's the only veg I dislike, and like Mike love banana's & custard if the custard is hot not cold.
