Not Much Luck With Food The Past Few Days...

[ummmm]

Yesterday took a walk to the butchers to get a chicken for dinner. Got home, unpacked it and it smelt a bit funny. I gave it a wash in case it was the packaging and noticed it was green around the neck and wings. Took it back to the butchers (he offered me a new one which I politely declined) got my money back and bought a chicken from the co-op that wasn't likely to make us ill.

Yesterday evening went to Morrisons for a few bits. Bought 2 Talapia fish and asked the fish monger to fillet them. Just took them out of the packaging and all 4 fillets are complete with bones!! Complete with bones, tails and fins...

Who trains these people?? Surely filleting a fish is basic training?

[ummmm]

Look how well trained they are...

Perhaps he couldn't be ar$ed if it was nearly time for his shift to end

[ummmm]

That's not an excuse. Besides it was only 6 o/c.

Take the fish back ummmm, and tell them you asked for them to be filleted.

[mccfluff]

maybe they thought you said "cut the 'ed orf"

its that accent of yours, easily confused with fillet it please

[ummmm]

I will do but have to wait for him to get home. Morrison's is a bit too far to walk to.

I've never taken anything back before and now twice in two days!

[ummmm]

lol Fluff...

I've never taken anything back before and now twice in two days!
Expect a third then ummmm, everything seems to happen in three's.

[ummmm]

Will it be something to do with food?

[tonyav]

Hang on, I'll just have to look at the tea leaves lol.

[ummmm]

I bought an iron at the same time. I bet blows up!!

[lardhelmet]

I've had to buy a new iron too ummmm. Whenever I plug my existing one in, the power goes off. Interesting...

[tonyav]

Did you buy the new iron from Morrisons ummmm ?.

[ummmm]

Someone dropped mine and the point snapped off.

[Jeza]

What's an iron? Oh just remembered it's a golf club.

[tonyav]

Lardhelmet, probably a short for it to knock the power off.

[ummmm]

Yes Tony and a new ironing board cover. I have filed the guarantee :-)

[Old_Geezer]

Probably wasn't concentrating. I usually just ask them to clean them.

[lardhelmet]

You're probably right Tony. I am only 5ft 3...

[tonyav]

I am only 5ft 3...

See I knew there would be a short involved ;-)


ummmm, you have done the right thing.
