Peers complain about their dinner...

[TwickenhamCyclist]

Apparently the "House of Lords is no longer a place for fine dining"
Some lovely complaints, the one about His Lordship feeling left “scarred” after his dinner booking was cancelled suddenly and complaining that his wife was “unable to lunch elsewhere” because she was wearing a tiara has got to be a moment to savor...

Anyone else got any good dining room complaints? - when working in a pub as a student I heard a few wonderful ones - like requesting a plate of whitebait to be topped and tailed or the chap who drank 18 pints of cider in the sun one afternoon and complained the next day that our burgers must have been what gave him the sh**s...

That HoL stuff is a good read, but it's cuckoo spit compared to the taxpayers money being hosed away elsewhere.

By the way, I believe that a naval Captain once instructed his chefs to stop serving carrots in the officers' mess because they were lower class vegetables.

He has a point...utterly ghastly food.

Years ago we had a chef called Fred in the mess.

The "Bleep Fairy" used to always ensure that as soon as you had your meal you were bleeped

One of the "initiations" was tell people to ask fred to "keep an eye" on it whilst you answered the bleep

Fred used to then pop out his prosthetic eye and stick it on the plate.. much to the disgust of the individual anthe amusement of the rest of us!

Lord Sewell has the middle name "Buttifant".
How predictable.

If more people complained we maybe would not get such shoddy service in lots of places.

If my dinner's not up to scratch, I tell the butler to give cook a jolly good talking to.
