[Closed] Rick Stein....

I'm watching Sarah Beeny's cracks

Try padstow, you can't get away from him

loddrik....gotta disagree with you there mate..

The country is beautiful, his pronunciation is w**k! 👿

I like him

his pronunciation is w**k!

of course it is, he's English 😉

are you constipated Loddrik..?

I can't see that there's any harm in the Stein fella and his enthusiasm's infectious..

loddrik ,I think Stein would take you though 😆

I know people that have worked for him and, according to them, he is an utter prick.

he's a man lodders, I thought it was only women you didn't like?

After visiting Padstow last week, i can see why locals don't like him. The whole town seems to have his ruddy logo everywhere, i can understand the restaraunts, the chippy and the chefs training school but the Rick Stein Patisserie? The Rick Stein Giftshop??? 😯

Err perhaps he's trying to you know - earn some money?! FFS he runs businesses and his name is a brand thanks to TV exposure, why wouldn't he use it everywhere he can?

I'm sure the peasants of Padstow hate him so much they'd love him to piss off and take numerous jobs/visitors with him 🙄

He doesn't like guitarists either.

Anyone got a picture of Bonnie Raitt gutting a halibut?

Seems passionate about the food which is the important thing. Every dish he's made I would eat. Nice to see the driving over lemons place, Now I can put a picture to the place after enjoying the book. Have to agree about Sarah Beeny.

Now this is EVERYWHERE.

Hello Ms. Beeny:

Stop It!!!!

Rick Stein is great , end of. In the same league as Keith Floyd who i also won't have a bad word said against....so shoosh.

I find/found their programmes engaging and easy viewing.

Wouldnt have him baby sitting the kids. Nuff said.

So he's extremely knowledgeable, passionate about food, and has brought loads of trade in for the people of Padstow. Yeah, I can see why everyone hates him.

Oh, and his restaurant's great.

We audit his businesses... therefore i shall say nothing. Apart from hes a nice chap. 🙂

. He's got a restaurant in Australia where every Friday night they paint a P infront of his name on the sign

when i was still in Cornwall he was getting death threats.. made me lol hard he charges 8 quid for some chips and there shit! least his dogs dead now, that couldn't have been hygienic!

A beautifully worded and calculated response. Well done.

yea most of the people of Cornwall cant afford to eat his shit, he just fills the place up with emits that make even more Cornish people homeless, hope he falls in a deep fat fryer and has a hideousness death!

If they can't afford to eat it, how do they know it's shit? And if you're reduced to arguing that he's resonsible for people buying second homes, you're looking more than a little desperate.

Plenty of Cornish people seem quite happy to take the tourist dollar, which is why their criticism makes them steaming hypocrites.

Better edit that quick ilovemygears or you'll get a warning.

(For writing there instead of their)

ilovemygears

What an appalling post. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Never liked Rick Stein's programmes tbh but his take on Spain has really got me interested and its a great roadtrip to watch.

Thanks Rick 🙂

well this is a sort of well thought out responce.

I doubt you'd recognise one if it were slapping you round the chops.

Nothing in your post has much to do with Rick Stein: he opened a restaurant in Padstow in the early 1970s, and made a great success of it. That's all there is to it.

I suggest you direct your bitterness and envy elsewhere.

Eloquently put again!

im not bitter or envies mate you're just a very silly boy, how much land you got then?? how many relations are MP's..?? i just dont want to see my home land be turned in to one big Newquay full of dirty emits pissing and pukeing every where **** the place up, when emits fall of cliffs we lol, and we lol really hard!

You measure success by being related to MPs? You must be terribly insecure. I pity you.

Oh, and if you wish to convince me that you're not bitter, perhaps you should stop the wishing people dead thing. If nothing else, it makes everyone think that you're an extremely unpleasant person.

im not insecure mate, just ranting at some one that has no understanding of the damage of low wages and the lack of housing in rural areas, it pisses me of.

So you want me to believe that you're not insecure, but here you are ranting on the internet and wishing people dead. I'm entirely unconvinced.

Whilst the incoherence of your posts makes it difficult to be sure, nothing I've seen so far has much if anything to do with Rick Stein. You must try harder.

😯

What on earth has that got to do with Rick Stein though? Surely if anything he is helping your Corn-rades by providing work! Why don't you spare some of your land to them to build an affordable home or two?

Edit - why on earth am I replying to this nonsense...

Why don't you spare some of your land to them to build an affordable home or two?

Good point! And I'm sure some of these MPs he's related to have a spare house or two...

Cracking thread 😆

yes i wish him a horrible death hes a ****..thats the sort of person i am...get over it..im the sort of person that beats a homeless guy half to death when he try's to steal my girlfriends chips and made her cry,

Judging by your posts so far, an entirely plausible scenario, except I find it difficult to believe that you have a girlfriend.

I didn't have any issue with Mr Stein until I watched one of his programmes 🙂

Absolute muppet/ahole! Not content with getting paid to potter around Asia copying (stealing) people's recipies this white devil then releases a book full of them. Now he may have given some of the proceeds of said book back to these kind people who were good enough to share with him, but I don't expect so.

Exploitation that is! Takes me back to the days of colonialism.

Is he running businesses or is he a greedy mofo?

you guys ever tried to get planning permission to build a house of farm land

Let me guess - that's Rick Stein's fault.

you guys ever tried to get planning permission to build a house of farm land...lol

Would they let you build a restaurant?

except I find it difficult to believe that you have a girlfriend.

not all women like wimp men you know

You really are quite the keyboard warrior, aren't you.

nope people from out side cornwall the complain about every thing, getting Asbo's against people because there chickens are to loud.. or getting church bells stopped..

Ok, we've gone way past incoherence and entered the world of the totally incomprehensible. Is there spittle running down your screen?

LOLz as they say!

Judging from the Salford fire thread of yesterday you're in my part of the world, I better give my missus a phone and warn her there's a lunatic on the loose.

cornball?

I'd have a go at cornball, sounds good!

lol i have more than one place to live... im only hear to my misses completes uni then its back home

Do you have a place in cornball?

lol i have more than one place to live

Then you should give one of your places to those hard pressed Cornish folk that you pretend to care about.

It's ok ilovemygears; I'm a Londoner and I just want to reassure you that I have no plans to buy a holiday home in Cornwall. Ever.

Having 'holidayed' with 'Emmet' relatives in north Cornwall far too many times, and seen just how insular and narrow-minded some people can be in that part of England, I'd be happy to stay away, as you seem to want us to.

Crap weather, nowhere to actually ride yer bike legally, meh scenery, unfriendly people. That's my experience of having bin there many times.

Truro's nice though. And I'm sure there are some nice folk there, and the weather in the more sheltered south coastal areas is a lot more pleasant.

I live in a place that's bin shaped by immigrants and travellers over centuries, and I love it for that reason.

Embrace change, welcome evolution.

Gah, these cornballers coming up to Salford and taking up the local housing stock. 🙄

lol i have more than one place to live...

There's nothing worse than these folk that come up from the West Country and steal all the good people of the North's homes.

Darn it - too slow

But you were funnier*.

*apart from my cornballer bit

class thread ! - could we get caravans and cats in there as well ? - mr gears seems like the man to have a decent rant about those too - specially caras in cornwall 🙂

you guys ever tried to get planning permission to build a house of farm land...lol

If you were to propose low cost affordable housing for locals you may be suprised

Superb troll BTW by 'gears- I love the way on STW you can get a seemingly innocuous subject totally derailed such that in the coming weeks we'll be referring to 'that rick stein thread' for example...
FWIW i thought the bbc progs on spain were rather good, though I find Rick's delivery somewhat annoying- over-use of the word 'just' as in "just...... fantastic" same as that awful kevin mcloud mayn.

Ooh don't get me started on Kevin McPonce. 😡

'Oh look at me I'm a poncey lighting designer and I know better than anyone else about style and stuff'.

No you don't. You just think you do. You're a ponce. Just let people do their own thing and be happy; why've you got to be all condescending and scathing about their decisions all the flipping time?

I live it when he's proven wrong, which is most of the time actually.

I quite like his shows, not sure I could spend too much time with him.

the Local Heroes series was just... fantastic (sorry DD ;))

Ooh don't get me started on Kevin McPonce.

Oi! Uncle Kev is ace.

If you carry on like that I will challenge you to a duel. Probably in Cornball.

If you were to propose low cost affordable housing for locals you may be suprised, but you won't, will you?

London folk would only buy them up and import church bells and GM Brian Blessed chickens, while quaffing jus de swan and throwing rocks at the locals.

I was surprised when asking planning officers about affordable housing- its not actually a classification in planning terms and wouldn't necessarily get an easier ride than private resi if you proposed a couple of new houses....

you maybe would have been better off trying the term 'social housing' perhaps..?

nope yunki, wrong i'm afraid.

Don't be afraid! 😕

[url= http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=12133 ]Cornwall affordable housing[/url]

just a thought.. and again.. please don't be afraid.. there's really no need..

I only mentioned it because as I understand it, that's a term that was used in the contract on the little housing estate that I live on here in Devon..
Where I believe a percentage of social housing is compulsory on any new commercial site.. 😕

Oi! Uncle Kev is ace.

Do what mate? 😡

[url= ]See this, this is you, this is...[/url]

[i]Poems? Floo-ahs???[/i]

Where I believe a percentage of affordable housing is compulsory on any new commercial site..

indeed correct in most LAs, but it doesnt necessarily mean you'd get an easier ride with planning to build say less than 5 new houses- many LAs have thresholds beneath which you don't need an affordable %age...
especially if you're trying to build on agricultural land you'd get a hard time i imagine.
my experience, and I've been involved with planners on several small and large applications for private / affordable resi.
Happy to be proven wrong, I find its always good to learn something (unlike a few on here!) 😀

Good ranting Ilovemygears!

You've introduced an amusing yet murderous element, i like that.

Unfortunately it's the lot of the English Coastal town these days. Create anywhere halfway nice and the affluent city folk buy up the properties and force the locals away. Seen it up and down the country.

Remember going to Padstow in the early 80's. It was bloody great and would be every bit as good now (probably better) if there were a number of competing and locally owned restaurants.

Elf. Pasties at dawn.
