Dave don't take it to heart Me I was a waitress at Butlins in Bognor and no doubt you’ve heard the one about the blind waitress? Well that was me :!: Not sure how many of you ever went to Butlins, but they had these great large dining halls with hundreds of people sitting down to a meal at the same time. We waitresses carried 10 plates of food in these silly little racks and you had to make sure that you took one from each side… Well one day I miss counted and as I couldn’t see where my last space was :!: I took the next one from the same side by mistake and the rest just slid out onto the floor , what a clatter and a mess, up went a big cheer :!: For days after people came up to me and said that I had made their holiday by dropping all those dinners 8) . The chef was not that impressed though :roll: and moved me into the kitchen where again I had a mishap and dropped a whole tray of fried eggs on the floor . Again I was moved, but this time to the grillroom, a small bar where people who did not want to eat in the dinning halls paid for a meals, there I was put on the till so that I couldn’t drop anything :wink: .
