We've both had both.

It's a Portuguese family and Paulo is a driver, so gets around a lot. His dad is in hospital, him and daughter are okay with it. So far.

We went here last week and loved the black pork, so off we went again tonight. Grumpy had the house steak and he said that the fat was the best he'd had since he was a kid :lol: Yuk from me.

I had secretos, which is slices of black pork loin, pan fried. And the normal salad, chips, thankfully, no rice :lol: But big chunks of fried pineapple, orange and lemon, which gave it a very different twist.

If you ever see black pork, try it. The flavour is just so different from normal pork.

Just been in the post office because I needed a decent looking fiver to put in a birthday card, I’d only got a tatty one. Thought it’d be easy, especially as the assistant was counting a pile of £5 notes as I got to the counter, but no.

Swapping a note in that way could be money laundering so I had to pay the tatty fiver into my account and then do another transaction to withdraw a slightly less tatty one :roll:

And I could’ve still given him a dodgy note as he didn’t even glance at it as he put it into the drawer.

Money laundering!? One fiver! Give me a break.

Typical Jobsworth with nothing going on between the ears. People who are laundering money have more than a few notes to swap and are certainly not doing it in person. :roll: :roll: :roll:
