RUBBISH SERVICE - PIZZA HUT PARRSWOOD!

[noseall]

Mainstream 'pizza' establishments in the UK are the most revolting, oily, lardy, rubbery - gash that was ever served for human consumption.

I would be delighted if they all closed down.

Mediterranean pizza is delicious without being thick base cheese crust lard erse vomit.

I looked at their website and found the contact us button (which takes you to another page with a form on it) Your asked to find a Hut, then enter your postcode, find the Hut you went to then click the contact us button next to the place you visited. This then returns you to the form and should have filled in the Hut details for you. Complete the form and send.

(I'm assuming you went to the Didsbury Parrswood Hut ??)

Yes. I've tried this in several different browsers but I get stuck trying to enter the PH details and the date....

Can't remember what was there - wasn't it a factory/warehouse or something, of which the clock tower is still standing? The site backs onto the old railway/new tramline, which would make sense if it was a warehouse.

AFAICT, soon after Kingsway was built in the 20's, trams were installed. Later, buses took over.

The Tesco site was some kind of tram/bus depot.

Can't find my copy of the same view in the 50's....

I do enjoy Pizza Hut pizzas, I always order the thin base pizzas because this is how pizzas are meant to be, and thick bases are too much bread for me. In the Doncaster branch I have always been satisfied by the customer service. Sometimes a bit robotic, but in general you can tell the staff care about the end result - satisfied customers.

"backstreet takeaway" pizzas usually are greasy, but full of flavour. Ironically these italian cuisine places are usually run by east europeans and asians! BUT you know what you are getting, and these places are excellent at marketing, with leaflets and free delivery, as well as being some of the most hard-working people in the UK food industry - they have to be hard working to maintain their margins, with all the freebies they give away.

I emailed pizza hut regarding their non in-store complaints procedure (including a hyperlink to this thread) and got a less than satisfactory reply. Therefore I have decided to advise several forums as well as as many friends as possible of the lack of local accountability of this chain of stores.

It's their policy - let them rot in hell until they change their ways

You get brownie points for telling me what was there before the Tesco was built. .

The site was originally a tram depot built by Manchester Corporation - later became a bus depot, but was empty for several years before Tesco got the site. The clock tower is the only surviving bit of the original building left.
Do I get my points now?

 

[securespark]

Not really, because:

The Tesco site was some kind of tram/bus depot.

AND:

the clock tower is still standing

But you can have some anyway.

I'm trying to picture the tram lines - did they used to run along kingsway (along the central grass) up to a bit beyond the turnoff from the end of Wilbraham Road?

Where can one get the original routes that used to run?

More to the point, the idea of running the new airport tramway through Benchill is madness of a high order!!!!!!!!!!

 

[securespark]

I have quite a lot of books with old B&W pictures of South Manchester and I remember that Kingsway junction with the tramlines on but for the life of me cannot find it.

Always the way, isn't it?

Trams through Benchill is nearly as mad an idea as extending the A555 one way to the A6 and the other to the airport. When it opens, that'll mean my village will be miles busier...

 

[subman101]

People are vulnerable to and from the airport - carrying cash, cheap ciggies and other wares (eg passports). The concept of the tram travelling through one of the most deprived and crime ridden areas in the UK is an insanity.

Mark my words, there'll be a protection racket, or derailments or muggings-a-plenty. This is the worse idea I've ever heard of for a long idea. The original route went via Wythenshawe hospital and straight to the airport, which was far, far cheaper and more sensible a run.

In the air view, the triangular bit of land on the right-hand side originally belonged to the estate owned by Healds, who lived in the big house just off the pic. When Kingsway was built, that bit of their property got cut off and was no use to them, so the Corporation took it over and turned it into a formal garden. Its a bit tatty now, though.

Did you really expect a good eating experience at at pizza hut?

 

[securespark]

Well, lets put it this way: We often eat at the one on the Portwood roundabout in Stockport and never had a single complaint ever.
