[Food] Well Done Toby Carvery

[mikeyjh]

I can't think why this service isn't offered to ex Nurses, Doctors, bin men, people who look after our sewers etc?? All essential services that aren't always either safe or pleasant. Because it's not either politically expedient or commercially attractive to do so, that's why. I'd rather they invested in ex forces or anyone else not having to live on the street, but they wouldn't make money from that would they.

Bin men?

 

[schmunk]

Bin men?

Telephone Sanitisers - that's who we should be looking after.

 

[mikeyjh]

Bin men?

Yeah, why not, what would we do without them?!?

 

[Questions]

its not really down to toby carvery though mate .

So what your saying is Toby Carvery don’t have a resident psychiatrist at each restaurant. That’s outrageous.

A member of staff in Harvester said my mate was mad when he through a bacon roll at someone. The’re on the ball.

 

[Questions]

What about a nice pork knuckle?

Sauerkraut

Can I swap my roast for Iraq of ribs?

In all seriousness though, I've always have bad experiences with the cutlery at Toby Carverys. They slip right out my hands and the Falklands on my foot.

They’d turn up when the restaurant was closing.

Sauerkraut

No need to resort to insults, have some sympathy for them.

You do know what happened to the Golgafrinchan A and C arks in Hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy, I hope?

Just checking that it wasn't just a random bit of facetiousness.....

For younger readers:

The Golgafrinchans are a race of humanoid beings who realised that there were three types of beings on the planet of Golgafrincham. Thinkers, Workers, and the strange Middle Class.

The middle class comprised of hair dressers, lawyers, telephone sanitisers, and other such "worthless jobs".

The Thinkers built a ship and told the third class that the planet was to be consumed by a "giant space goat". So they built a ship and sent off their third class. Telling them that they would follow soon. The Third class ended up on Earth, "mucking up the program to determine the ultimate question", while the rest of the classes were killed off by a raging disease contracted from public telephones. Golgafrincham itself soon after was consumed by a giant space goat.

Confirms my pleasure at avoiding reading this when everyone was raving about it at the time.............

To be fair, and in due deference to [MENTION=1200]Harry Wilson's tackle[/MENTION], Douglas Adams wrote it just a tad better...

A work of true comic genius, imo.

Some proper food snobs in this thread it's embarrassing. There's nothing wrong with the carvery. It's excellent value at £7 especially if you take the whole family out.
I eat here quite a lot and I'm happy with it.
Well done to Tobys

that's what I was thinking ... I've eaten a lot worse

Yep, although I do not begrudge those who serve in the armed forces the respect they deserve.

Why can't we have a nurses or firefighters day as well ? That would be more of a problem politically for the government.

My issue with Armed Forces Day is not the honouring of forces personnel and their service. That's a good thing. My issue is that somehow it tries to get us to fall into line ourselves and not just celebrate them but government policy in their deployment.

I am not offended by troops marching through my town, however I will always challenge the government's reasoning behind it. For me our forces are becoming political pawns. That is not why we choose to appreciate them.
