I reek of Nandos!

Like most hospitals, ours gets free food for the wards at the moment. A nandos delivery turned up. This is usually a bunfight as the ward staff love a) Free food and B) Chicken! So a staff member and a porter split it between them to take it upstairs (why they did not get a trolley I don't know. That left a few boxes down at reception (not for us), so I took them into reception so passing traffic would not help themselves. Unfortunately, in trying to get in the door, some 'juice' slipped from one of the boxes. I now stink of chicken!

I am not a Nandos fan and don't eat meat! There may also be a residue 'burnt' smell on me as I burnt the pasta for my lunch for today , when I made it yesterday. Although I showered I guess it is still in my hair. :( Doesn't exactly go with Estee Lauder White Linen!

Ridiculous that wards are still getting free food. And i'm a nurse by the way.

Yes it is

Is free food tax deductible as a charity donation? Maybe restaurants continue so they offset fixed costs while they can’t open to the public.

What was the point of this post? Aside saying that those who are still earning a wage in a stable job are receiving free food, when others are losing their jobs and worried about how they are going to keep afloat?

The complaint here isn't free food but the kind, mostly pizza and other unhealthy stuff, plus grateful patients discharged after having covid are turning up with shed loads of sweets. Only plus point is heros (it's not original now! have a long shelf life. Full marks to the local Sikh community though - healthyish vegan food bus being dropped off twice a week.

Umm, know what you meqn. My flat mat gets all sorts including fruit (he is in another hospital). Ours is mainly meat/veg with couscous, curry or wraps. We get that sometimes on reception but Nandos is wards only.

There was nearly a war this morning as someone from some dept told us about a Nandos delivery, then another Ward came down and told me it was for them, then another ward came down -do you see where it is going??!

Why can't they play nice and share! There is enough to go around apparently. Last time one ward went home with bagfuls of the stuff!

Well I am sorry you took such exception to my post perhaps I should have put LIGHT HEARTED in a mega huge font as I was was being jokey about being covered in the stuff.
