New canteen contractor at work

Col_Decker

We've got new people running our works canteen now. On one hand I'm sad to say goodbye to Julie (Me Julie), on the otherhand they are now offering a 19 item breakfast.

 

19 !!

 

not 10, not 12, but 19. Oh sweet bountiful harvest.

 

Mouth: Engage

Belly: Brace yourself

Ah I remember the days of the works canteen, little old ladies serving trying to feed the youngsters up! 

We have a tea point wedged under the stairs here!

19? That's one for each item in a full gentleman's suit!


Are the beans counted individually?

ROOG

Sporky, I struggling with the link there.

the suit is a Hugo Rune (I think, certainly a Robert Rankin) reference.

no no no

1 tomatoes as in a big spoonful of chopped /plum tomatoes in juice. Though tbh honest I will be subing them off for extra toast as I HATE tomatoes.

Oh, and they're bound to have specials and theme days!

Swap it for a sausage. And swap the toast for a sausage while you're at it.

Everything Decker does turns into a sausagefest :-S

I suspect that riddling the workforce with blood clots is cheaper than paying out lots of redundancy packages. I would start to worry if I were Decker.

I'm hungry!

Now that would be a nice treat on a rare occasion when lunch was going to be late or even missed all together. The sort of thing I have on the ferry after a drive to the port expecting to not stop again for the next 8 hours till I get to a holiday destination. As a daily feast it has chronic illness written all over it. i understand physical exertion requires a lot more calories, but they need to be good stuff not fat and processed meats.

Yeah but the tom's are there to dip the toast in (after the egg dip natch).

Col_Decker

Don't worry lads, they do a healthy 12 item breakfast for all you keep-fit nuts

You have a works canteen, where do you work - the 1970's?
Oh, Shropshire isn't it, I was right then...
