Turn right walk past Javits. Cross the road at the crossing turn right walk 20 yds and into the Jubilee. Takes 90 seconds at the most. Shish Kebab with tomatoes and onions only. No sauces. Luvvly Jubbly. If I'm really hungry I'll get chips too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beside the Royal Blind school at Newington station, I worked the Bank of Scotland branch there in the mid-late 1970's. Was so quiet in there, we used to have a race with staff in RBS across the road to see who could complete the Scotsman crossword first. Served Sean Connery's mother in there, Mick McGahey too.
