Looks like another case of misuse or misunderstanding of health and safety regs, all too often it spread by urban myths that suddenly become fact, crazy world
I feel I need to bang my head on the wall. This seems uunbekievable. We seem to be living in a world that gets crazier and crazier.
Huh! Have you no 'morels' ? (See what I did there!!) I'll get mi coit! and then 'button' it ! See.... I did it again!
As a kid we went on the club trip to Blackpool. Went into a Chippy and one lad asked for a chip butty. "Never heard of it" says the server. Thinking on his feet (realising we are in foreign climes) the lad then asks for a chip sandwich. "We don't sell them" says server. "Do you do teacakes?" "What are they?" "Do you do bread?" "Oh yes!" "Can I have chips and bread then please?" "Of course." "Do me a favour...put my chips between the bread please." "There you go....sorry we didn't have what you wanted !"
Reminds of a pizzeria I went in in Barcelona. They flat out refused to put onions on my pizza, even though they did have onions as a topping. When I requested it they said onions were only for the 'white pizza' (no tomato sauce). They wouldn't deviate from the menu at all (they had a list of specific extra toppings you could buy for each type of pizza). Whilst they were cooking it in front of us, I was tempted to grab a handful of the onions and throw them on.
True. every rule and regulation in the health and safety manual is born from an injury,illness and even death. Some of the prevention's are mostly common sense but some are not as recognised but once explained are probably taken on board. The bug bear is people being overcautious afraid of claims etc which is understandable . But waiting in the wings of people's disenchantment are people who want to make a quick buck by avoiding sometimes costly safety regulations.
I find it strange that you'd order mushroom omelette over a breakfast full of meat. I've also found that I get uncomfortable around vegetarian diners so my solution would be to encourage all vegetarians to eat meat whilst they're dining in public in case I'm in the vicinity. I'm not unreasonable and every englishmans home is his castle, so not eating meat in their own privacy is fine. This would also keep the price of meat in check. Thanks
