Am I getting old?

If it is any consolation, my wife has had a number of stand-up rows with supermarket kaff supervisors / managers about the lack of fresh milk for tea.

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.

I wanted a bacon roll - they said they've run out.

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.

Our Labour manifesto will contain measures to prevent this.

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?

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...

We went to Waitrose cafe...

Sorry,

All pine laminate n poncy now.

And NO bacon rolls!

I used to like the Safeway Cafe, you could get some good stody food for about £3. Wonder if they changed it that much.

Sheffield is a great city, but I am shocked it has a Waitrose.

Is it the old Safeway near what was Ward's Brewery?

Indeed it is.....

There's no need to be that offensive!!

Although my neighbours do hate me - they are public service types, all GREEN and bicycle clips!

Whereas I enjoy a good tyre burning in the back garden on the weekend ....

This is general. Were you expecting me to be nice?

Though perhaps as you live in Sheffield I should feel sorry for you and be nice.....

[Bagpuss]
