Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 29)
Discussion
About time too! Back to the real world of Trivton, Trivingham, Trivton Magna and Trivton-in-the-Marsh. Back to the world of jumping the last bit from the drawbridge made slightly too short by the same outfit entrusted with the new roof for the observatory delivered the other evening 2.54 times too small due to simply omitting the word 'inches' from the drawings.
Welcome back, coop.
There's the Full English in the main house, bacon butties in the small barn and Mrs B has a spirit stove and the camping kettle set up by the main gate. Don't startle her, she's armed.

PHEW!! Was worried there for a minute, but if Mrs B is down at the main gate doing her Calamity Jane bit, who's doing the elevenses run??
The rota says it's Mrs Greenfield from the shop by the canal today. She'll have stale cakes from yesterday as a treat if you don't mind them being on the wrong trolley. It's a small sacrifice.Bomma220 said:
There's a serviceable trolley listed as 'Stale Cake / Past Sell By / Shelf Life / Misc' if that's any help?
Mind, using it for mid morning break would involve pushing two trolleys, ie elevensies and stale cake.
I don't know how we'd go about that.
It has been done in the past. You simply lash them together by adjacent uprights. The resulting catamaran trolley is navigable almost everywhere except the corridor in the Servants Quarters and the corner near the bar by the aspidistra. It saves taking on more staff.Mind, using it for mid morning break would involve pushing two trolleys, ie elevensies and stale cake.

Ah.
Just received a written suggestion from Mrs Brassington. She proposes that the trolley ladies should be dressed in accordance with the contents of their trolleys with her testing the efficacy of her plan by having the French Fancy Trolley pushed by her dressed as a French Maid. As we would have to wait until February of next year to witness the Greenfield's eldest daughter thus attired I say we reject her idea on grounds of cost.

We did touch on the subject of Lemon Drizzle Sponge the other day.
How would that pan out trolley / attire wise?
It could well alarm some of the more squeamish residents.
Conflict of interest here. Squeamish is the desired texture for the TT Lemon Drizzle cake. Squeeze one and if you don't say, "Hmm, squeamish," I'd be very surprised. How would that pan out trolley / attire wise?

TT Trolley Warning:
Members are encouraged to NOT approach an intriguing trolley staffed by two attendants in full protective gear this morning. We've brought forward the annual fumigation of the bar and surrounding areas following the Catch Phrase Evening.
'Well cover me in honey and tie me to an ant hill' was not intended to be attempted literally nor any of its varied - and imaginative - interpretations by some members.
A collection box for Battert in his recuperation is situated at the top of the main staircase.
While he is out of action his duties will be performed by members on an ad hoc basis. From each according to his abilities, please.
