Pumpkin - what do you think?

[Lucille]

The times I’ve been there and thought I was actually IN FRANCE!

Must be all the BROTHER/SISTER fondling that goes on behind THE TILLS.

I knew it was France when I saw them putting LEMONS up each other* and looking at sexy TOUT NU pics of PAPA

* YES THIS IS A SERGE GAINSBOURG REFERENCE

POURRY VOUS DEPECHEE TOI AVEC MON LATTY POR FAVOR, I bellowed

Not to mention just going in the street (facilities publique be demanded!)

Oh they were brazenly doing it on the DOUGHNUTS DARLING

 

[Alias #23]

I did wonder why MARIE-FRANCE was perched up on the display with a leg cocked

DISGUSTING

 

[Lucille]

Not to mention the inevitable chat of CHIENS BAISABLES.

 

[Alias #23]

I didn’t realise when I read books by Georges Bataille that he was recounting tales of EVERYDAY LIVING IN FRANCE and DELICE DU FRANCE BY ASSOCIATION rather than the debauched antics of the perverted minority

Thank goodness for honest to goodness PUMPKIN

SO GLAD TO BE BRITISH

I understand they are doing the catering for the Queen’s Jubilee do

‘Ham and cheese croissant, Ma’am?’

STALE BUN LUV?

Oh I do hope that the croissants aren’t STAINED BY HAM if Mum just wants a cheese one

Camilla barging past little Archie or whoever they're called to get first go on the fruit machines

She’ll be thrilled by 3 tins of CARLING for only £7!

 

[Kratz]

Evil Kate asking where the vol-au-vents are, as though Pumpkin would sink to anything so gauche.

Or CHERRY as she calls herself when she’s hammering the slots

Bon après-midi .... COVENTRY

While I was served a decent cup of coffee, the cafe left much to be desired. Tables left messy and not wiped down. Old bloke sitting on the window sill with his feet on the chairs.



Barista poured milk without asking and left my tea tasting like hot milk. Overpriced too.

I just checked out the FRUIT MACHINE.

Anyone fancy a game of THE WINSONS?

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Pumpkin customers are the absolute definition of a CAPTIVE customer base.

 

[Soldi]

EXCUSE ME

Why does this thread have to be EVERYTHING

A quick side by side with previous visit pics suggest tables have been WIPED DOWN

I only discovered yesterday that Bristol Temple Meads has not one but TWO Pumpkins

There's a hole in the wall type affair for a quick hit, and a sumptuous salon for leisurely dates

Pictures please next time

I mean, Pumpkin to me is the embodiment of quite simply not having to TRY because you’re the only place that tired and desperate travellers can access caffeine. An effortless queen.

"Sumptuous salon"

My local pumpkin has removed its branding and appears to be calling itself "Coffee Room"

There's the odd Pumpkin branded sandwich inside still, so not a change of ownership

This is a PUMPKIN EMERGENCY!

 

[Kratz]

Entrist movements will NOT be tolerated!

I bet Delice de France is behind this

What does Moopy's obsession with railway station cafes tell us about Moopy?

Likes to travel
Attention to detail
Pragmatic
Tolerant
Loves fine food
Has expenses account

It might be happening to all of them:

Omg it's gone classy

Can't wait to see if the famously welcoming and efficient staff attitude remains though

 

[Kratz]

That blurb

"we were asked to review the brand and consider if it should be rationalised, refreshed or rebranded. As a result, a full rebrand was developed"

 

[Shoat]

Oh god they've BLANDIFIED Pumpkin

I'm getting supermarket café vibes

 

[COB]

I'm FURIOUS BEYOND WORDS

 

[Soldi]

Oh god they've BLANDIFIED Pumpkin

I'm getting supermarket café vibes

The branding just as bland as the food

 

[VoR]

I kind of feel like this thread may have been the cause of all this

 

[Lucille]

Pumpkin DEAD?

I’m MORTIFIED and UTTERLY DISTRAUGHT.

Why would they take away our BELOVED PUMPKIN?

 

[Kate]

Shall we start a PETITION?

 

[GNL]

Let's get the Smashing Pumpkins to number one on iTunes in protest.
