Stuff the hygiene certificate,

Book me a table, I'm sold...Funnily enough I do have a Food Hygiene Certificate from the days when they didn't expire. Acquire on a course run for CAMRA but largely used at The Cambridge Museum of Technology. One day someone from Environmental Health turned up in the little shop where drinks & snacks were served, looked at the certificates and demanded to see the people on site. So three of us volunteers were dragged out from where we were working, assortedly covered in dust & grime from sorting the basement store, coal dust & ash from stoking the boiler and grease from stripping down an engine. She looked at us and said that's fine, you are able to supervise but for god's sake don't come in the shop or anywhere near food.
They did say that they could provide a vegetarian Gentleman's Afternoon Tea if requested.

I bought a silage thermometer at the boot sale once. It would come in handy for checking if the compost heap was heating up nicely. It is a meter long spike with a dial thermometer on the end, which shows the temperature at the tip. The chap I bought it off was selling mostly commercial catering equipment and so I asked him why he had this. He said that he had had a restaurant at one time and the clipboard boys used to come round annually and demand to check the calibration of his ovens. He used to set the ovens at 200ºC, let them heat up and the shove this thermometer in. As soon as it got to 200 they were happy - despite the fact that it was clearly showing Fahrenheit and had the words 'Silage Thermometer' in red on the dial. He did that for ten years. I was impressed.
Yes. It was very good!
Ooh the chocolate crunch with mint custard looks delicious and brought back memories! Although that’s on a different Facebook group page but is still Georgina by the looks of it.I was talking to my eldest boy and said I though I might order another afternoon tea, perhaps try somewhere else. he asked what will be in this one? (A little disappointed with the first one) Oh I don’t know son, hopefully sandwiches and cakes. He replied ‘can’t you just go to Tesco and buy me sausage rolls and minstrels?’
Anyway I thought I might try here as they look good and have been recommended. A better price of £9.99 a head too!

I used to convince kids at school that mint custard was actually left-over custard from last week, with the mould stirred in and a squirt of toothpaste to cover the taste up.Ooh the chocolate crunch with mint custard looks delicious and brought back memories!

Ewwww, with that thick skin on top, like a layer of rubber.....Ooooh mint custard. I’d almost forgotten about that
I don’t think I’ve ever had it since school.

Dislike
Nah, it wasn’t that bad at our school. Always managed to pour out of the bashed about Ali jug. Lovely stuff.Ewwww, with that thick skin on top, like a layer of rubber.....

And, I wouldn't even complain about the two sets of sandwiches being in a different order.
