Fair, fayre and now fare!

^Possibly in an abstract way “ An inadequate fare for the work they have to do”^
Or perhaps “A Christmas fare to remember” meaning “food” in general.

I'm not sure you need the 'a' or the 'an' though to use it as a noun.

'Inadequate fare for the work they have to do' = 'not enough food to sustain them for the work they have to do'?

'Christmas fare to remember' = 'By 'eck, that were bl**dy good Christmas nosh' 😂

👍👍👍

About to throw a spanner in the works. If the gala was selling only food, would that constitute a Christmas fare?

Only Gala pie allowed!

Fair do, I do like a slice of Gala pie!

Brewers Fayre does not have an apostrophe. On the same walk on which I checked that, I saw a pub offering the chance to book for Festive Fayre!!

I think it would be a Christmas Fare Fayre...

For once and for all
Fare is food
A Fair is an event, pseudo olde worlde spelling Fayre.

What more needs to be said?

Sounds fair.

Gala pie is sold in the baker in Galashiels.

Did go to town and looked 'round the square,
Oh how I wish we still had Finefare!

I remember Finefare! In the days when chicken was a great luxury (early 50s) I remember my mum and gran queuing outside the new Finefare which was opening in the nearby town because they were giving a chicken to the first X customers. They each got one and were very chuffed! Do you remember the Home and Colonial stores too? Couldn’t call them that now!
Apologies for totally derailing the thread.

I remember FineFare, too - and chicken being so expensive we never had it! Mind you my mother didn’t like chicken anyway. When asked why she’d say, ‘Because it’s a bird.’ 🤔
She didn’t like ‘eggy’ eggs, either.
Or tomatoes, but when dds in their 20s finally asked why, she said, ‘I don’t know really - I’ve never actually tried one.’ 😂

🤣🤣🤣

Good old Finefare!
I once won a PlayStation in a Finefare competition. I thought someone was playing a joke, when I got the phone call. My children thought Christmas had come early!

Finefare, Budgens. Lipton's. International Stores....

Anyone remember Priceright? Or possibly Pricerite we are on pedants thread after all.
