Why would a butcher put a piece of steak on a top shelf? Was there a refrigeration unit also there to keep the steak below room temperature? was there also a guard covering the meat from insects?
Sorry I just don't understand.

How would the butcher have paid if he'd lost the bet? I wouldn't imagine that many people carry fifty quid in cash around with them, and it would hardly have been a fantastic idea to have taken it out of the till (unless it was his own business I suppose).

In my opinion this was a risky bet to have made. When I was younger I worked in my local butchers every Christmas Eve, getting Turkeys from the freezer as customers came into the store. I seem to recall seeing a ladder on the premises and would think that there was a chance there might have been a ladder in your butcher's shop too. Even if he didn't have access to a ladder your butcher might have decided to climb up the shelves to reach the steaks to win himself 50 quid. Does your butcher have an assistant? If so did you consider that the assistant could have stood with his back to the shelving and given your butcher a boost up to reach the aforesaid meat? And surely you must have considered how the steaks got up onto the shelf in the first place? If you are really that keen to part with 50 quid so readily maybe you could pm me and I will provide you with all my bank details...

Whilst the storage methods are clearly questionable, I for one applaud the OP for supporting his local butchers. You may pay a little more than meat from the supermarket, but in my experience it is almost always of a superior quality. And well done for building an immediate rapport with an attempt at a cheeky wager - no doubt the butcher will instantly recognise you on your next visit, give you a cheeky wink, and slip you a few extra ounces of topside on the sly.
Good work.
Good work.

Without even going into the health and safety aspects, surely if he placed the meat on the shelf he would be able to go and get a ladder and get the steak as being a fresh product he would be changing the stock on a frequent basis

They should have been in a refrigerated display cabinet or the general refrigerated store out the back, not on a top shelf.
Definite health & safety issue here, and I for one would not recommend buying meat from this particular butcher.
I am appalled. Can you name the butcher in question?

I notice the bet doesn't have any kind of time restriction, so even if the butcher didn't have a ladder (which makes me wonder how the steaks got there in the first place), he would have been well within his right to go and borrow one off someone.

Probably the same butcher who sacked his assistant for putting his dick in the bacon slicer.

I wonder if the OP did in fact buy some meat in the end, I mean with butcher not taking the bet on?

I bet that brought him out in rashers.
Surely, for the money on offer, it would have been worth while getting a small step ladder and fetching the meat? Not only would it have been an excellent profit but the customer would have left feeling positively towards the butchers. This could only lead to client retention which, quite frankly, local butchers increasingly rely on.

Was he sacked for that?
[crossesballintosixyardbox] What happened to the bacon slicer? [/crossesballintosixyardbox]
I think this has gone on for long enough, now.
Just because a joke isn't factually correct, or it relies on out dated stereotypes, perhaps it picks on an impediment, disability, or skin/hair colour, or as in this case just isn't funny.
Does that make it any less of a joke?
Does it deserve this kind of treatment?
You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
