Restaurant deals during the crunch

I'd like to start my first of my weekly "credit crunch" blogs by finding out what special deals you have come across this week in restaurants...

What cut backs are you making during the crunch?

With the economy at an all time low, you can't go anywhere these days without hearing about the latest special offers, be it food, savings, clothes etc. I want to know what you're doing to help beat the big squeeze...

What strange things have you found in your food?

I like my food as much as the next person and I especially have a soft spot for pasta and all things seafood. However, one thing I do not like eating is spiders. Pasta and spiders do not go.

When will the violence stop?

Knife crime in the UK seems to be everywhere at the moment, and with the media concentrating on the incidents more than ever before, I'm starting to really worry about the safety of myself and others around me.

How important is correct spelling 2 u?

Hello everyone, after reading some of the comments going back and forth lately about incorrect spelling, punctuation and grammar, it got me thinking.

Free speech of course, but a little more thought perhaps?

This week some people have left comments on stories which have left me a little unsettled. Of course I am all for free speech but I would like to urge people to think a little bit more before they hit the "send" button.
