Simon English: Money Chicken in need of a trouble shooter
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Outlook The Coq d'Argent on Poultry in the City was a fine place for a good few years.
Traders at the er, feisty, end of the market used to like it particularly.
"Meet me at the Money Chicken at one o'clock, son," they'd say. "I might have something for you."
The view over London from the terrace was grand, everyone was cash-rich and optimistic. The waitresses flirted and the chef did a decent steak.
Lately, it feels grotty and overpriced. The drinks taste stingey. The mood is bad.
Since there's no shortage of good places to eat in the Square Mile, this hardly counts as a tragedy.
Still seems like a pity though. Send for a restaurant trouble shooter (no, not that one).
