Dear Sir,
I was in the Cosy Corner, Lancaster King Street on Saturday. They had closed at four. Some two chaps were talking at the counter on the way out. Obviously facing each other talking one said “fuck off” as I passed. I returned the observation I’m afraid.
I last ate at the Cosy Corner on Firday , a bowl of chips . Their cooking is very good and I see by your website that quite some effort goes in to their work. I like being their customer and the place is friendly.
I hope this episode has not spoilt this main observation about them.

Obviously facing each other talking one said something rude to me to seem surprising out of his own converstaion as I passed. I returned the observation I’m afraid.

To make the lemon filling, grate the lemon rinds and add to half a pint of water along with the squeezed lemon juice. Bring to the boil and blend with the cornflour to which has been added a couple of tablespoons of water to make a smooth paste.Add 4 oz caster sugar. Beat the egg yolks and quickly stir into the hot lemon sauce. Fill the pastry case with this filling.
