Evening all.
Well what a day. Up on the roof for some final tasks before the scaffolding came down, then they took it all down and I saw my house again for the first time in 5 weeks, I had forgotten what it looked like.
Then I was called into an emergency meeting of the Tea Rooms management committee by GD, it seems the poor old dog has been ordered by the vet to get something sorted (he didn't say what but I think it might be in the waterworks department !) and that he wont be able to keep this place going much longer, he was pretty desperate poor thing so I agreed to try and help by taking over the day to day management in the new year. The vet had told GD that he needed the op early Jan but I am not free until later so after consulting the vet GD has be given the all clear to work into January.
As you can imagine this was all a bit of a shock for me but us spacemen are trained to be cool in all situations, I haven't had much time to think about the tea rooms and what to do with it. As far as I can see the place looks after itself pretty well and only occasionally does the management have to step in and take action, for example recently when some prat posted the work 'fucking', what an idiot.
Being a relative newcomer I don't feel its right to change much but for technical reasons we might have to start a new thread.
I am a bit concerned that my sense of humour and my tendency to be an anorak might cause problems but I hope that you will make allowances and let me know when I have overstepped the mark.
I have spoken to Lambykins and he has agreed to do what he can to help, he has suggested a few new rules :-
1) No talking about eating Lamb.
2) No woolly jumpers unless the wool comes from sheep in his family (showing his business sense there)
3) No other Lambs allowed on the management committee.
4) Lemon Drizzle cake to be available at all times.
I haven't made him any promises but at first sight these rules seem pretty sensible to me.

certainly not chocolat, your one of the tea rooms finest customers, the management would have to be mad to ban you !
But what if they are mad ;-)

Ditto Choccy. I was going to start knitting a poncho for my daughter tonight after I'd eaten my lamb chops.
:o)

Oh dear, I come home from days work and it's all change in the cafe. The world has gone mad, really. Lemon drizzle cake everywhere, where's the sherry trifle?
And what about "have you had a carol singer"? I never touched Carol Singer m'lud, she's making it all up.

Just let them try to bar you, I'll smuggle you in under my coat (thinks, that could be fun).

That's good news, Space. I certainly like to break the rules.

Socs, You might want to put a motion for a new rule to the committee something like "The management will at all times ensure that the tea rooms has available sufficient quantities of the items listed on the condiments and cake list as approved annually by the food and ethics committee"

I'm not sure I'd be wanting Socks to put any motion on the table, Spacie..

And how big's your coat, Socks - is there room for any trifle?

My coat is big enought to hold not only you and sherry trifle, but the chairs, table and candelabra as well.
Spaceman
I might place a motion like that, if I knew what it meant.

Evening revellers! ;-)))
Just knocked off for the day so popped by for a small snifter before dinner. Interesting change of ownership coming up. Swap Goldog for Spaceman and Lamby. Hmm.
Better stock that cellar, Tim! ;-)
