I popped in to Subway in Exeter yesterday to get something to eat. How disappointed I was.
It was less fast-food and more slow, messy and pretty depressing food. For a start, they took the bread stick and cut it in half. What's all that about?! I didn't ask for a kids size meal. The girl behind the counter explained that that's their standard size. What a stupid penny-pinching idea, go in for a full meal like in all of the pictures on the window and come away with something resembling a small sandwich.
It wasn't as if the meal was any good either. Soggy thin strips of steak with limp looking salad do not make people want to go there again. It certainly didn't match up to the meal in a US Subway.
Perhaps it wouldn't have been so bad if the service had been any good, but the girl took so long and the process was so complicated. I wanted to walk in, ask for a meal and get what I asked for, I ended up having to go through every choice imaginable to get my meal in the end.
So, it's fair to say I won't be going there any more. Next time it's eat at home or find a decent snack bar.

I'm dissappointed in you Led-man. I mean maybe Exeter has a bad one, cos the one i went into round here in London had some good stuff. It was actually a half decent quick-ish meal.
Yeah, Subway is all about false advertising.
On the door you see a foot long sub stuffed with ham and cheese - looks lovely.
Ask for a ham and cheese sub in the shop - you get a measly 6 inch sub with a couple of slices of ham, and 2 small cheese strips.
"Extra cheese?"
Yes please!
"30 pence extra?"
Go on then!
Then she puts 2 more strips on! For 30 pence! Rip off if you ask me, and if you want a big sub stuffed with 10 portions of extra cheese and extra ham like it shows on the window - then it will cost you a good fiver, without a drink.

I've been to on of the the ones in Glasgow a few times when at uni and in a rush for the train.
Hasn't been too bad, always asked for the 12inch sub with what I wanted on it and used the student snapfax to get some kind of deal or something free with it so it wasn't too expensive.
Found another sandwich bar place that does takeaway though that was a bit better and cheaper so used that more often.

It's because you southern englanders are all miserable.
I was at an indian a few years back, and bought naan bread at about 1.50 to go with our meal, what we got resembled a small pitta pocket, whereas, in the indian in my village, you get a 20 inch diameter naan bread thing that only just fits on the table.
Yum.

I've never been to one before though I nearly went into the one on Buchannon Street once but deceided not too.
Wouldn't touch the one in Union Street next to Central Station mind.

Fact: All food selling places around (not inside) central station, are peesh.
The Burger King in Central Station made my brother ill for a week.
Then there's one half price accross the street.
I only ever buy stuff out Superdrug in Central Station because I'm a cheapskate.
