Are any Moopy regulars pictured there?

 

[COB]

Yes, that's ZenGiraffe and I on the left - ignoring one another to get stuck into our individual copies of the D*ily M*il as usual Soldi and some of the other cheap girls at the other table.

So NOW we know who uses them!

Loving the attractive display of cardboard boxes containing FRUIT. No budget for rustic baskets in PUMPKIN

Also, who the fuck goes into Pumpkin for FRUIT?

So NOW we know who uses them!

I hadn't even considered they would still have them in these times, until I popped into my local with £4 in change and 15 minutes to kill.

Lady luck was not shining on me that day.

£4 would barely get you a SLAP in famously RITZY eatery PUMPKIN.

It is SHOCKINGLY DEAR but that’s what happens when you go GLITZY. I plumped for a Twix and it was SIX POUNDS AND FORTY NINE PENCE. I said I’m not buying that, cunt - FAR TOO DEAR

 

[rhythmbandit]

Ive never been in a Pumpkin, I didn't even know there was one in Leeds and I'm there often.

Will rectify this ASAP.

I had to extend my overdraft just to get a SMIDGE OF JAM.

You have to pay FIFTEEN POUNDS EXTRA in the Tottenham Hale CAFÉ SHOP if you want sugar in your coffee. I said CUNT OFF HAG I’VE BROUGHT MY OWN CUBES IN MY HANDBAG

Alright Jack Monroe.

We do need more FIRST HAND REPORTAGE

Oh I popped in and said ‘EXCUSE ME THERE’S A TURD IN MY COFFEE’ to which I was swiftly charged an ADDITIONAL £20, then chastised for not leaving a big enough TIP.

 

[Kate]

Next time I'm down in CLAPPY J I shall be SURE to pop in

 

[Alias #23]

I think we should nominate the LOUNGEURS with the most problematic personalities to pay a visit to Maison Pumpkin and inevitably elicit the worst possible staff reactions and standards of service. However I’m exempt from being nominated as it’s my idea

 

[Alias #23]

Next time I'm down in CLAPPY J I shall be SURE to pop in

Apparently the floor is covered in piddle because the staff aren’t allowed toilet breaks. With this in mind I’d maybe pass on treating yourself to a slice of Lemon Drizzle

 

[Kate]

I shall politely enquire about their selection of petits fours and crémant

Talk in FRENCH and see how they react

I think GERMAN might be fun. In fact I might try that one myself

[GNL]

I've done some digging (looked it up on Wikipedia) and it transpires that Pumpkin is part of a WEB of retail and catering brands which includes Upper Crust, Whistlestop and weirdly THIS Parisienne monument historique*:

Can't shake the feeling they're not putting their best into their UK brands

*je suis desolee for my terrible, terrible syntax

 

[Alias #23]

Oh what a surprise that noted hellholes Upper Crust and Whistlestop are related to PUMPKIN

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED

Citizen journalism time, though sadly it isn't good news:

Spoiler: Pumpkin news

Pumpkin Edinburgh Haymarket:

Closed!!

I am BEREFT:

 

[Kratz]

Is it CLOSED closed or is a multi-million pound revamp in the offing?

''All new Pumpkin. Now with FLUSHING LAVATORY!"

 

[COB]

I wish I knew I got a bit of a STILL CLOSED FOR COVID vibe, but it's just a hunch.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Right now I know what I'm doing this weekend..

SELFIE OUTSIDE CLOSED PUMPKIN let's do this Pumpkin Fam

I didn't have time to, I was too busy peering through the window marvelling at the Walls ice cream freezer AND Ginsters fridge

Well the 'pumpkin' graphic looks like a just-curled-out turd - Bristol Stool Chart remix.

So. Yes.
