Was this the institution in Buckinghamshire you went to? Sounds like they have the loonies in the kitchen there too!

Yes. The torygraph fail to mention that Richard Branson was 'asked to leave', as were all the best people.

I thought you were referring to the loony bin for a minute there

No, that’s the other bloke whose name begins with 'M'. He went to prison, which by all accounts is a bit comfy compared to public school.

Oh, I thought it was the place I got expelled from.

Why on earth do people sell themselves short in the evolutionary race like this ? Eating well will only lead to tears Mich, your resistance will fall, your natural defences will disappear and you will become the juicy target of every bug,grub and microbe within a radius of tenty miles.
Take it from me, toughen yourself up man, eat more kebebas and cheese pasties, then, when the 'day of reckoning' comes, in 'the end times', you will be able to join me in donning our biscuit tin hats, and march, shoulder to shoulder into a brave new dawn

You do have a point here, but the mere thought of reducing my monthly Michelin star count makes my stomach churn with fear. I might die of some dreadful disease like the one that’s still making me feel bloody awful today.

Self administered I see.

You've only yourself to blame.

WHS - kebabs are one of the secrets of immortality

No, it was in Taunton

Was this particular institution near Buckingham?

No, it was in Taunton

I used to go to a boarding school where the kitchen staff were "inmates" from the local mental hospital. There was one in particular that I remember dribbling into the chicken fricassee as she was ladling it out

Trouble is, I’m away from home all week, which means I must put my health in the hands of those who cook my food and I have to be fussy. In the evenings I eat in good restaurants, even though it costs a little more, and I never eat take-aways and certainly not food from those horrendous slot machines. It seems I dropped my guard for a moment and immediately paid the price.

[doodab]

Why can't they employ people with a basic knowledge of hygiene, let alone people who know how to cook?

Too expensive. Eats into their profits.

[Paddy]

Thought so. Utterly gross. I simply don’t understand how, with all the ‘elf and safety’ regulations, those things are allowed to exist. It’s asking for trouble.

It’s a gnome problem.

Do you develop immunity to being exposed to canteen pathogens? I've only suffered once IIRC, and that was in foreign lands. Food hygiene at home is almost non-existent, so I may have immunity if any is going, but I do draw the line at going to restaurants.
