The Old Queen's Head Restaurant Sheffield Review Experiences

today i woke up 7.50am.
then i just have chocolate bread as my breakfast before make a move around 8.45am to college to attend the Strategic Marketing Management (SMM) lecture at Adsetts centre.
well, the morning lectures teaches about the corporate social responsibilities which related whether is there a need to be ethical and having moral values when doing business.
one simple question that is quite worth to think about when the lecture shared about "Is is wrong to eat bananas?" from the slide as the answer was quite obvious that it is not wrong to eat bananas from most of the people point of view.
however, if you think deeper, who would really know that somebody is underpaid or working long hour when picking bananas and if people stop eating bananas, those labor worker would lose their jobs.

another example from the slide was "If you're buying a T-shirt for £2, someone's not being paid much to make it" which might probably refers to Primark which explain why they can sell those clothes for so cheap start from £2.50 to £7 per pieces from normal shirt to formal shirt.
anyways, it is hard to determine whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) will bring more good than harm because behind everything happened has it very own pros and cons.
after the morning lecture end, we went to the seminar class to wait and somehow i quite like the "Wedding Dress by Tae Yang" song when friend open it which recall me back some memories.
well, the SMM seminar class started with friend's presenting the Icicle Works case study.
then it is continued with the "Fair Trade in Action Business Fashion" as the tutor shared the video as below.
the video shown above was just a preview as i couldn't find the full 29 minute length source on the internet.

well, i was quite agree with what being shared that the easier way to be success in life was by exploiting people who less educated than us for producing cheap product such as paying a low wages to poor country places or hiring labor child for the Nike case study in order to maximize profit.
moreover, i feel that it might be true that most of the people would not really care or support the company who had done CSR or not which probably related to "human selfish" attitude.
however, it says that there was one company who would do it which is "People Tree" through the video sharing but the clothes that they sell was quite expensive when i view their website.
besides, i agreed that the advancement of technology can lead to more people lost jobs and i start to understand why there is a need for creating more jobs in the world instead of keep depending on machinery although it is quite contradict in some ways again.

anyways, i do learned a new word which is "corporate philanthropy" that is giving out money without having any expectation or return by being kind and nice when compared with the "CSR" because company doing it for a benefits that it hope will increase it's own brand that might help their business in future.
overall i just can say that the moment we having something "good or cheap", some people might get hurt in some ways.
in fact, sometimes i do feel myself quite "hypocrite" in some ways and did not appreciate much the life i have when i did not think about those poor people country who don't even have a basic needs to survive just like the Bangladesh factory collapse incident happened not long ago.
after the seminar class, we went to the Penny Black restaurant around 1pm as there was some promotion during Friday but it is not really available at that moment.

therefore we went to the Old Queen's Head restaurant when the was a lunch promotion of 2 main meals for £6 chosen from the menu below. (£3 each person)
anyways, i just took some picture about the surrounding while some is adapted from the website as below.
well, i just ordered the fish and chips and the portion was quite small as you can see picture below.
maybe it would be bigger if order from another menu that range from £6~£10+ as shown below.
well, below was the detailed information about The Old Queen's Head Restaurant as my Sheffield review.

before i end my post, i would like to share an article from Elite Diary about "The 50 Life Lessons New York City Has Taught Me" although it is not applicable to Malaysia but i had found 10 life lesson that similar to what i feel when i live in city area as shown below.
_____________________________________________
1) Most people won’t think twice about taking advantage of you.
I’d like to believe that most people are good people at their cores. However, many people have skewed ideas of what is ethically permissible and what is not. Life teaches us all the same lessons, but we interpret them differently. What it comes down to is that everyone is looking out for themselves first. If someone feels that they can benefit from you and can somehow justify doing so, then they will.

2) You’re not alone.
Whenever you are feeling lonely, you can simply look out your window and see dozens of people walking around and living their lives. If you wanted to, you could go over and introduce yourself to any one of them.

3) If someone does you a favor, they expect something in return.
No one is so nice that they’ll do you favors simply because they feel like being nice. They will always expect either a favor in return or are looking for a way to connect with you. If someone interacts with you, then take it as an opening; if it’s someone who you think you’d like to get to know, then do so. But be on guard for those that are going to ask for favors.

4) Having friends is important and sometimes difficult.
Having good friends is important in a city like this. With all the stress and the craziness that is every day, you need someone to talk to and to blow some steam off with. However, friends can become a bit of a headache. They can also be too busy with their own lives to be a part of yours. Making real friends in the city is difficult and keeping them can be even more difficult.

5) If you want to make money, then you can make money.
You always hear people complaining that they can’t find a job and can’t make money. I think that’s bullsh*t. If there is a will, there is a way — it may not be the way you want it to be, but still: there is always a way.

6) Having our faithfulness tested is not something that goes away.
Some people start to worry when they find their imaginations wandering from their lovers to other attractive people they meet. The fact is that human beings are attracted to those they find beautiful. If you find other people beautiful, then you will be attracted to them and the thought of sleeping with them will cross your mind. This never changes. You just have to know what you want and not allow yourself to veer off track.

7) If you don’t ask, you won’t receive.
People don’t give handouts, but if you ask, then you may very well receive. Ask; it won’t kill you.

8) Getting off track happens.
Staying focused is essential, but difficult. You will get distracted and fall off track from time to time. What’s important is being able to get back on it as quickly as possible.

9) Losing yourself happens.
There are moments in life when you think you know yourself and then the next, you realize that you and the person looking back at you in the mirror have never met. Life is one long journey of losing yourself and then finding yourself again.

10) No one really gives a sh*t.
They really don’t. They may say they do. They may even make fun of you for it, but at the end of the day, they care more about their own problems and will forget about yours shortly.
frankly speaking, if someone can blog about the whole experience for studying the continued program for Tarc SHU summer degree program, i don't think i would make the decision to spend the RM40K to come UK because i seems to be not really gain much knowledge in term of extra academic knowledge skills that can help in working environment other than the "open mind" feelings because most of the subject was related to what we study at Tarc advance diploma.
honestly, i do asked myself that "is this all UK experience was worth or not just for want to know about what is the feelings of "someone" (ex-classmate) who came here study last year although i know it is also for my own good to get a degree certification.

furthermore, no people would "compensate" me back the $$ that spend here after i feel "not worth" in some ways or i shall "jump aeroplane" (跳飞机) working in UK to earn money?
seriously every second moment here was so limited now and somehow it does remind me about the my very own "RM10 story" although i know i should not think about the past.
over time, i tends to be discover more and more "ugly truth" about myself and it just make me demotivated to continue blog about it although i was just using an anonymous identity.
perhaps it would be true that i will not longer update after i had completed this 90 days summer degree program and the Europe trip since it might be just a waste of time for doing nothing from the beginning of my blogging experience.
in fact, i still depend on those motivational quotes such as "Don't waste your time looking back for what you've lost, move on for life wasn't meant to be traveled backwards" to get myself cheered up for having a happy emotions.
