    Noisy contractors in canteens

    Should be banned.

    Had a lovely lunch of gruyere and bacon stuffed loin of pork with Normandy sauce, asparagus tips, with cracked potatoes. Food of the gods at a very reasonable £1.50 for us permies. You should hear the contractors whine about having to get the value sandwiches or soup on the contractor rates!

    Can anyone beat that for a canteen lunch?

          I say Hooters, this burgundy's obviously a cheapo chateau permieaux; shall we order a Vosne Romanée?

            I can beat that. Here at clientco contractors are held in high regard.

            At lunchtime the perms turn up at contractors desks with a throne on a plinth, a perm on each corner and a bugler to lead the way. We are carried to the restaurant to the sound of music and we are announced to all insundry when we arrive.

            Once seated a small midget waiter brings you your food. A five course affair. A rather skinny man will then check your food for poison by taking a try of each course, spitting the contents into a gold bucket. A sixteen year old naked virgin from the South Sea Islands then feeds you by placing your food on a silver spoon. On completion you are then carried back to your desk where a Thai lady provides a soothing head massage.

            Today we had Swan and all for a £1

            You know what they say about assumptions!

              I prefer those small midgets.
              Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
