Revisited that not long ago. Still didn't finish a playthrough. It's probably the game with most hours and least finished playthroughs for me.
My fondest memory of my one time ever visiting Sheffield was when I was helping out a mate who was the transport manager at Cardiff Transport, driving a flat bed with well HGV (I can rope and sheet) when I was officially on leave...picking up 2x16 ton coils of steel up from there to haul down to Newport in Wales. When asking on the CB where there was a decent gaff to get some grub, I was pointed to the 'bus stop' cafe in a disused parking lot not far from where I was picking the coils up from.
On arriving and pulling the truck up alongside a fair few others, I found 2 rather large and jolly women serving trucker's specials from the top deck of an old double decker bus...when I say there was enough bacon and eggs on the roll to endanger both the species ("Bread or cake luv?") I'm not joking. Best bit of trucker grub I ever tasted

Cake with bacon and Rührei? That sounds barbaric.My fondest memory of my one time ever visiting Sheffield was when I was helping out a mate who was the transport manager at Cardiff Transport, driving a flat bed with well HGV (I can rope and sheet) when I was officially on leave...picking up 2x16 ton coils of steel up from there to drop off at Newport in Wales.

I had no idea what the phrase "Bread or cake?" meant either at the time, it's merely a weird Yorkshire colloquialism...I was informed that the 'cake' was actually a large bread roll and nothing more sinister than that...the bread option was just 2 slices of hand hewn and slightly toasted bread. I should add that the eggs were duck rather than hen, 3 of them and 6 rather thick cut slices of full fat smoked bacon...a proper 2 handed job to pick it up and eat it too...food of the gods, you can even feel your arteries hardening as you munch into it

Something like yorkshire pudding maybe. I imagine juicy scrambled eggs with the steaming hot bacon.I had no idea what the phrase "Bread or cake?" meant either at the time, it's merely a weird Yorkshire colloquialism...I was informed that the 'cake' was actually a large bread roll and nothing more sinister than that...the bread option was just 2 slices of hand hewn and slightly toasted bread.

Not Yorkshire pud...the nearest equivalent would be Brötchen...hand baked and 2 handed large though.
Being a truckers dive, everything was cooked in a large frying pan...I could have added a bit of black pudding to the roll if I'd wished...but when I saw the amount of bacon the woman was shoveling onto the roll then trying to balance the fried duck eggs on top, I thought the addition of black pudding would have properly killed me there and then

Ya, either bacon or blutwurst, both is too much, gotta enjoy each by itself.Not Yorkshire pud...the nearest equivalent would be Brötchen...

I can feel my arteries hardening just from the description!
Ach, I was young and fighting fit back then, in my late 20's where any thoughts of calorie counting, hardening arteries or broken joints was a thing still many years in the futureI can feel my arteries hardening just from the description!

Reminding me of that scene in Brids of Prey where Harley Quinn orders an egg and bacon sandwich. I'm sure it's supposed to be repulsive but every time I see I think

It would be interesting to see who owns the company that owns the building being leased to CIG... perhaps it's Roberts Leasing Space Industries maybe?

Great idea for the space truck stops in SC. Pre covid Friday morning treat was a visit to "Fat 's" over the road for similar fare. was the antithesis of what you might imagine. The place was heaving with NPC's and there was no way they could T pose on the seats or tables after they had eaten.My fondest memory of my one time ever visiting Sheffield was when I was helping out a mate who was the transport manager at Cardiff Transport, driving a flat bed with well HGV (I can rope and sheet) when I was officially on leave...picking up 2x16 ton coils of steel up from there to haul down to Newport in Wales.

Some more from shrach, on SQ42 Presales
Something that always troubled me and while it doesn't really fit with the timescale of appointing the new auditors it's Squadron 42 presales. If you sell a product you have not delivered, these should be considered deposits and not revenue. This means, you have a liability. Until such time as you deliver the product, you essentially owe people all their money back which is shown on your balance sheet.
Secondly, remember how the UK was originally called Foundry 42 and was all secret and purely working on Squadron 42 and always has been. UK Tax credits were all for Squadron 42 and it being a British game etc. The US group was initially for Star Citizen. Bearing that in mind and that Squadron 42 is not currently for sale, which category of the UK revenue do you suppose presales of Squadron 42 would fit into? Reminder of the categories:
I assume they are just kinda pretending they never pre-sold Squadron 42 or it's other two sequels.
