This morning as I got ready to go to work (I was running a little late, as usual) I was listening to the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show on Today FM, as I always do. There was a news item on the 8.30am news bulletin that the salads in Pizza Express in the UK are very high in calories, something to the tune of being equivalent to 2 Big Macs. The newscaster said that thankfully they arent in Ireland, which I immediately saw as incorrect.
So, I texted into the show saying that they do exist, but that they are called Milano. After the sports news, my text was read out by Ian Dempsey! He never called out my name though :( They were all really surprised. Thanks to me, Ian Dempsey and his gang as well as all his listeners now know that Pizza Express are called Milano in Ireland.
Anyone who has been to both (as I have) will immediately notice the similarities. I've no idea why they changed the name in Ireland, but they did! Did anyone actually hear that this morning? Probably not. But I'm happy. The world listened to me as I pointed something terribly wrong with the world.
I guess, Milanos will be seeing a drop off in Irish people buying salads! And its all thanks to me!
well now Ciaran, I think that Milanos might not serve you in the future if they find their salads being shunned! Imagine being banned as the guy who gave Milanos salads a bad name. But I suppose it is the price one has to pay to be the source of intelligence on so many matters. You gotta tell it like it is! :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry to burst your bubble Caoimhe. Doesnt bother me, I dont eat salads! I tried looking for the exact calorie content, but couldnt find it online. But they're pizza's are still good. Next thing you know, they'll be made of cocaine or something!
ReplyDeleteum . . . Ciaran, that would be illegal. Oh, and your comment reminds me of that one Father Ted episode . . . :-)
