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.

You could have said you were from contractoruk.com, and she'd have given you an even bigger divi-discount

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?

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

Respect!

Average Price increase for contractors is a 42% increase, effective from today.

That's Quantitative Easing for you.

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).

He was outsourced to India...

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.

Best canteen I remember was the one at Torness Nuclear Power Station...

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

When I did my stint at Threadneedle Street I used the canteen almost exclusively, reasonably priced (I was a trainee at the time) & not too bad for what it was, the daily pasta dish normally was the best

Pray, tell the name of the "best sandwich house"?

Pavarotti's on the pedestrian walkway oposite the RBS building. Their chicken escallop could feed a family of four

[saptastic]

No more, as from today...

It is now going to be cheaper to go out for lunch to the likes of Wasabi / Japanese Canteen / local Sandwich Bar than to eat in.

Jamies Italian in Threadneedle Street

@Mitch - better to be on the gravy train, than to have missed the train at all...

Maybe he means Subway!
