      Nicest works canteen was the directors dining rooms at Earnst and Young I used it for 2 weeks before someone pointed out that the temp from the post room was supposed to use the staff slop house with the rest of the plebs

        Did it serve a morning ready-brek with a REAL glow to it?

          Question to the OP: Do you know the chief cashier?
          I've always wanted to know what he would give you if you handed him a £20 note.

          (this of course coming from "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of twenty pounds" signed the chief cashier).

            The Bristol & West building society canteen was renowned for it's quality and value - so much so that they found themselves serving over 2000 covers at lunch - which wasn't bad considering there were only 1500 Bristol & West employees.

                    Bank of England - Subsidised Restaurant

                    Last week I had me dinner (lunch if Southern) in the Cosy Kitchen opposite, which is run by and mainly for those who, well a sort of Irish Care in the Community thing. The local nuthouse being round the corner, Burton Hall.

                    This time I get charged way less - like four Euro instead of seven so I say like - you sure that's right?

                    Oh, she says, I thought you were from Burton Hall...

                    Hmmmm, not only do I look like a Joey Deacon I also am being charged extra for being normal.
