Hi folks;
As the title suggests the family went out for a meal last weekend to a local pub, on the carvery menu was pork beef and turkey. I being a bit greedy asked for some beef and the turkey drumstick. I was informed that I could not have the drumstick without signing for it. I asked why and was told it is ‘health and safety mate – we are not allowed to let you have a drumstick unless you sign for it’.
I duly signed the book and enjoyed my meal, and also took a whole leg home with me (also signed for) due to the fact that they throw the whole legs away as no-one eats the dark meat!! On the way out (dark by now) I nearly went base over apex in a pothole in the unlit car park. Should I have gone in and asked for another leg as compensation??
Seriously though has anyone else come across such rules and where is the justification? Unfortunately I was in no mood to discuss this with the management team at the time - family pressures to let it go and a couple of pints of real ale did the trick!!

Just what exactly did you sign for?
Is the drum stick considered a lethal weapon?
Do you have to be a certain age ?
Would the other leg have been to assist you walking home?
After you fell you should have returned, asked to see the manager to report the accident then let him/her have it using the drumstick and said "how's that for health and safety ha ha

Sounds daft to me, only thing I can think of is that you had to sign some kind of waiver, in case of choking on a bone? I'm sure there must be some pun relating to it kicking off but to be honest my brain is on shut down right now.

Did you sign something without understanding its content and purpose?
I recall a high street restaurant chain some years ago asking for a signed waiver againt any risk of food poisoning for diners asking for speciality burgers of rare chopped beef.
Of course, it couldn't possibly remove from the consumer or others any right to claim for food hygiene failures.
It was at the time of what was then UK-wide E coli hysteria, around 7 or 8 years ago I think, but turned out to be more of an advertising tactic intended to draw attention to their highly successful dish. With lots of press coverage, I guess it paid off for them.

What do you get when you cross a turkey with an octopus?
Enough drumsticks for Christmas!
Sorry I couldn’t help myself.

I don't think they would have a leg to stand on in court, rather like the turkey. Well, it is nearly chrsitmas and getting some practice in for those awful cracker jokes.

Why can't you take a turkey to court?
Because they use such FOWL language

Never go to dinner with a Turkey...
They just gobble everything.

We are in danger of having a perpetual Friday, and it looks as though all the 'meat' has been extracted from this topic.
Time to bring it to a close.
