We're drifting a bit but I agree with others. I hate these pretentious ways of presenting food.

I recently witnessed chips being served in a miniature supermarket trolley.  Roll Eyes

To try to avoid any further drift off topic ... what was the plot requirement in Eastenders (other terminally boring soap opera series are also available) for Ian Beale to be able to produce what was clearly an invalid ticket in that particular episode?  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

It's complicated...

Ian bought the tickets for Cindy (Jnr) (daughter of Cindy Beale from an extra marital relationship, half sister of Lucy Beale, Ian is her guardian) and Liam Butcher to send them away to Devon. Liam knows the truth that Ian's son Bobby killed his half sister Lucy, having been told this by Cindy.

Ian and Jane Beale are trying to keep secret the fact that their young son (Jane is his adoptive mother) Bobby killed Lucy. Now Liam knows the truth Ian wants him out the way. Devon is the answer apparently, although Liam is now trying to blackmail Ian, demanding ^100,000 to keep schtum.

How did they hide Lucy's body?  Bury her in the cellar, too?  Shocked

Actually, there's a precedent for that: Hawley Harvey Crippen - he should have patented his solution. Tongue Roll Eyes Lips sealed

Body wasn't hidden very well cos she got dumped in Walford common.

The Plymouth connection is some random relative of Cindy I believe.

Jane Beale dumped Lucy's body after Bobby killed her. She walked in just after the act. Young Bobby still had the murder weapon (a music box of all things) in his hand. Bobby killed his half sister because she was a 'bad person', tearing the family apart.

You're doing my head in, now.  Shocked

I assumed it was because somebody told them Plymouth was every bit as depressing as 'Albert Square' and they would therefore feel at home.  Grin

Totally agree with you there.. and it is not only chopping boards, I have been offered food on what looked like roof slates - complete with sauce which flowed everywhere.  Not pleasant.
I note that when I clicked the 'Like' button in your post its changes to 'Yum'  Roll Eyes Shocked
