We DID request it well-done. There's a permanant note in our file on it. We empahsize it every time we get one. It's still raw dough.

See, if I keep stubbing my toe on the same step, I'll avoid the step.

a) Check it before you pay the delivery guy. If you don't like it, send it back (er ... I wouldn't trust a re-make, if I were you).

b) Find a new place to order from.

I don't know. I didn't live in the centre of London when I was 8, and if I did, I can't imagine I'd have ordered many pizzas.

The example I gave was from Walthamstow, which isn't in the city centre. Slap bang in the middle, I don't know. I suppose it depended on whether there was a local delivery place.

I imagine though that in the 80s, there'd have been a fair few less places covered than there are today.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Isn't the city centre *usually* 'slap bang in the middle' of the city?

Yes. It's called a synonym. Something you use when you don't want to just keep repeating the same word over and over again.

Uh ... I'm wondering why Liam said that it wasn't in the city centre, but rather, the middle of the city. You didn't answer that.

Synonym! Cheers Tim, I've always wanted to know what that was called.

Okay Jeff, listen. I shall break it down for you.

"The example I gave was from Walthamstow, which isn't in the city centre."

Walthamstow isn't in the centre of London. New sentence.

"Slap bang in the middle, I don't know. I suppose it depended on whether there was a local delivery place."

In the centre of London, I do not know what the situation is like.

Got that?

Ah, 'cuz see, what I thought you were saying was that the pizza place wasn't in the city centre of Walthsmstow, but might've been 'slap bang in the middle' instead.

Uhh, so let me understand this more easily. You live 2 minutes from a pizza place. You call for a delivery to a place that is 2 minutes away. They typically don't make it for 10-20 minutes after the call. So here's and idea. Call and order a pizza, wait 15 minutes. Drive down and pick it up, that way if it is still raw and uncooked, you can send it back to the oven while you're there. Then drive home. If it is really 2 minutes away then why hve it delivered??

On second thought, citing my previous post, driving is a bad idea. Don't do it.

Yeah, I worked in a pizza place in Cape Cod one summer *stomach rumbles with the memory*. Anyway, they had that thing the Antagonist described. "Pickups", they were called. I'm sure your pizza place would do it if you asked, as it's less hassle for them too.
