1) Buying my Jewish boss a pork pie for his lunch - I didn't know his religion and I was only 17 at the time, so not very worldy wise

2) Finding out you don't spell doubt 'dought' after sending out zillions of mailers for the company I was then working for (see 1 above)

3) Explaining recently to the doctors over here that the reason I had sustained a hairline fracture to my heel bone and ankle, plus torn the ligaments in both sides of my ankle was because I chose to willingly jump in the shallow end of the pool ............. guess I should have lied and said Barman threw me down the stairs  lol:

4) Sustaining a very nasty tear to the top of my lip last year because I chose to see what it was like to stick my head inside the upturned chemical tub that I had sunk to the bottom of the pool which had been left floating on the pool and filled up with very hot water just to see how hot it WOULD be when it sunk to the bottom of the pool and THEN finding out that once my head had gone in it wasn't quite so easy to extract it ! Oh no that wasn't me that was Mr. Barman  happy001 happy001 happy001 happy001

You may as well admit it now, you are both related to Nick...you have to be.  point:

I once had a disastrous holiday job at a posh hotel in Hunstanton.  Embarrassing moments include:-

- Spilling whole contents of tray of 3 meals on floor in posh restaurant
- Tripping over step with another tray of food - 5 meals and went headfirst into prawn curry (gave the restaurant's guests a good laugh cussing:)

- Kicked 2 way swinging door to restaurant open so hard it flew back into my face and - yes tray of food flew out of hands

- Serving soup some g*t threw his arms up when telling a story and knocked a very hot bowl of soup over me

- Dropping spoon, fork and contents of bowl on to guest's head when attempting silver service

- Managed to topple dessert trolley with full contents

I guess I was never destined to be a waitress!! redface:

Many others including toga slipping down at toga party (no bra) and the hold up stocking episode where it fell down in the middle of Bentalls and had to hitch up behind shoe racks in full view of very shocked man. eeek:

Look, DS, just because your competitor hales from that part of the country is no justification for running it down like that!






It can do it perfectly well on its own thankyou!
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

My mistake.  ;)

Yes there was definitely baked beans on the menu as well - and they put the chips on a doily!  On special nights they'd even change the chip pan oil!
