'Bo Peeps Arms' (formerly Pete's Bar) reopening night

Haggis is only eaten on some Scottish poet guy's birthday - isn't it? Is it burns? (is which case, coming from Glams kitchen, t'will be appropriate (duck!!!)

Nonu maybe you and I should be the cooks there. Our hygiene would be impeccable so the local hospital would not be treating patients with food poisoning if you and I were cooking.

Ah, just back from doing a turn at the Edinburgh Festival where I was standing by to undersudy a fellow thespian with his musical flatulence act, should he have been found wanting with the low notes. Fortunately for Scotland, my services were not required.

Even so, I'm feeling a bit stiff and scratchy having just scrambled off the night-soil special from Prestwick. Thank goodness I managed to pass myself off as a supernumerary member of the cabin staff and thus travel gratis. Not sure that my bearded visage suited the high heels and pencil skirt but nobody seemed to mind and I did manage to pocket a few bawbees from sales of Festival souvenirs and old beer mats, so good news all round.

Now what have Her Holiness and you Laydeez been up up? The ideas for the Village fete are most encouraging. How about a tug-o-war between the Bo-peeps and all-comers? Perhaps some of the lads and ladettes from Grabitts could be persuaded to put down their loofahs and join in, and the Fat Ladies would add an unforgetable aspect to the proceedings in their bikinis. I'm also thinking that Sven and some of the chaps from the steam-room could don their sailor outfits and help splice the main brace. All we need is a few pounds of beetroot purée and some toad-in-the-hole to jolly things along. Glad to see the the sausages are measuring up nicely already.

Well we COULD CHARLEY , however as GLAM is so damn |^GOOD , AND ^ is prepared to do, I would not want to step on her toes.!!

True, provided I am not in the local hospital with food poisoning.

Charleygirl
I can't believe you're casting nasturtiums about glam's hijean!

she's gonna kill you!

Yes indeed!

(Although I think it was the suggestion that Miss M might be given free rein to nibble bits of beetroot and spit them back in the scouse which gave rise to the question of hygiene in the first place...)

Laydees. I'll have you know hygiene in this establishment is top notch. The Health Inspectors came last year and only failed us on 30 tiny little things (like mouse droppings in the saucepans - easily put right) they really go over the top. The saucepans are fine (give or take a few mouldy bits of food stuck to their bottoms) but I'm not too sure how things are since Pepper the pig managed to get up on the work surfaces and snuffle the pork pies - don't worry though, I swabbed the surfaces down with a (fairly) clean dishcloth. Pepper's worth her weight in gold since she was trained up as a truffle finder (I think they're truffles that she sniffs out)

I am assuming that the kitchen is cleaned with the same cloths used for the loo? That appears to happen in a few places so why not ours?

Certainly not amused about critic's on my hygiene as we all know I have passed all certificates with flying colours and do attend up date classes as and when I am out of rehab,

You may have glammanana but what about your helpers?

Charleygirl Maybe you're in the wrong place?
Maud's Tea Rooms are just down the road or perhaps Lady Muck's Wine Bar is more your style?
I believe the J cloths get rinsed out between cleaning the toilets and the kitchen there!

I think that kittylester should oversee the hygiene as her kitchen has just passed with flying colours.

[sigh] - I wish this cleaning was all done and dusted so I can join in ....

Hollydaze as you were practising at home, you may be the person to take over? I do not know what rates would be, probably as many dregs and left overs as you can manage.

I remember the good old days, when gramp's long johns were a sight for sore eyes, and now it's all 'new broom sweeps clean'.

glam'll never recover from all this

Lona don't you worry about me my shoulders are broad and I can take it nothing upsets this scouser I don't have a worry in the world,I've never been paid enough to worry.
Now back to the menu,meat & potato pies for tomorrow and a nice big cottage pie with thick gravy all you veggies can have cabbage soup but keep it away from papaoscar as the flatulence could be a problem and as we are all Laydee's and we don't want to be associated, us being genteel folk.

glam That's alright then, first rounds on you
I'll get the next one and I've put an IOU in already!

We're behind you all the way, glamma!

(Anyway, shouldn't bo be in charge of any hiring and firing? It is her bar, after all...)

"gerroutta my pub!"

You don"t want to be worrying about GLAM she ran a bar in Spain, so she definitely know"s how many beans make 5 .

Nonu & Ana Thanks for the vote of confidence mi dear's ! did I hear right and bo raised her voice ?? I thought it was Peggy Mitchell I was under the impression I was the only one with the big mouth
Chicken curry to-morrow with rice or chips,I don't want any fussy ossities wanting half & half we don't do special orders as it comes or not at all,please make sure the iou's go in the till and not in the bin,I have my spies out watching.

Blimey! Have you seen that thread on bossy people?

Lona Woops I've just read it back I do sound like a bossy old witch don't I ? I'm a pussy cat really,all soft and gooey inside.

Laydees - A Very Exciting Announcement*. I...The Village Fete and Carnival Committee have decided on *Saturday, 4th October (which, just by co-incidence is my birthday) for the Big Parade. We don't have long to decide what Bo Peeps 'float' theme is going to be? Any more votes for the Surgical Aids as previously suggested? Or how about a Tropical Island? Maybe joined by the members of the Steam Baths. We could make Hula costumes (I have some lovely plastic chrysanthermum's somewhere in the loft) steel drums, I could ask Ernie Frisbee if he'd do his Elvis impersonation.
Over to you Laydees….
