Sheffield is a great city, but I am shocked it has a Waitrose.
Is it the old Safeway near what was Ward's Brewery?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I used to like the Safeway Cafe, you could get some good stody food for about £3. Wonder if they changed it that much.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

I used to go to the cafe in Morrisons with my Dad evey other week before rugby.
Once we went in and both ordered omellette and chips, I paid for mine and waited for my dad, and was treated to this little gem:
"Sorry sir, that was the last omellette".
"Can I have something else with it?".
"Hang on, I'll just go see what we have left" <disappears into the kitchen>.
<comes back> "The cook says she can do you some fried eggs".........
Yes we queried it, apparantly the omelettes were bought in, and the cook wasn't allowed to cook them from scratch. They were allowed to fry, boil or poach eggs though...Still InvoicingComment

I've had a similar thing at Sainsbury's cafe a few years ago - but they said they would go and get whatever it was that had run out from the supermarket shelves and apologised for the delay!
Anyway this is a contractors board, WTF are you rich contractors doing in a cafe?This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

I said "how can you run out - don't you have shelves full of bacon"?
All I got was that open mouthed fly catching look - only a spotty 18 year old can give.Comment

If I had a quid for every time I've been in one of those kaffs or a motorway service station where there are 'fridges but the only milk available is UHT in plastic pots yet kept in a 'fridge, I'd have at least a tenner.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
