I'm out to lunch and our drinks have just arrived in

[SoftCoeur]

.. measuring jugs 🙃

Any guesses what the food will arrive on? Plates or, erm, something else?!

Reminds of the FB post I saw about someone having a full English and it being served on a shovel.

I once went to a student restaurant that found it funny to serve chilli in plastic basic dog bowls. It was humiliating, I paid the bill and left without eating it. I don’t even know why I paid…

Surely a Full English should be served on the back of a British bulldog?!

That's just showing absolute contempt for their customers. Was it meant to be an 'ordinary' restaurant or was it a themed fetish one, with students wearing dog collars and not being allowed on the furniture?

@SoftCoeur I reckon your lunch will come served in a bedpan.

{Sorry!}

Question: Is it OK to serve a full English breakfast on a shovel?

Are you a fireman in the cab of a working steam train -

Yes = it is fine.
No = it is pointless and wanky

Pointless and wanky.

I'd be miffed if my full English was served on a shovel with a mini bucket of beans.

That's what it reminded me of. When I was undergoing initial tests on my pelvic floor I needed to measure urine output. I used the exact same jug.

Crazy times we live in!

Had a drink served in a mini bath tub once. It came with a teeny yellow rubber duck and a bath mat . . .

How would these places respond if you tried to pay them at the end with a load of old bus tickets, as your 'quirky new take on boring old cash' or insisted that their card machine must be faulty when it can't take payment from your Boots Advantage card?

What about if you went to the toilets and curled a steaming great turd into the sink and then wiped your arse on several feet of the roller-towel? I mean, they are the ones who decided that the time-honoured traditional way of doing things by using the appropriate item for the appropriate task was boring, right?

Now, by contrast, I'm just imagining a nurse at your local GP surgery asking you for a urine sample - and giving you a wine glass with a cocktail umbrella in it to do it in!

Quite frankly I'd be asking for a glass. If that's beneath them then they can have it back

Does Environmental Health have anything to say about all of this? Maybe not for a (glass) jug being used in place of a (glass) glass - as both are at least fully hygienically cleanable - but some of the other dubious things, like a slate or a shovel, cannot be sufficiently hygienic.

Would an establishment really be willing to sacrifice a '5' hygiene rating just for the sake of being too 'cool' to buy appropriate crockery and glassware?

Salted rim on the glass and a sprig of mint!

The jugs don’t even look clean

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh goodness that looks utterly shit 🤣

Well, at least it wasn’t a short measure

I am laughing so much at this. A ceramic shark !! What was the dish ?

I thought food served on wooden chopping boards was bad enough. This is a whole new level of tosspottery.

Maybe the dishwasher is broken and that's the best they could manage?

I agree with your DH about the jug of pee. 🤢

DS2 went through a phase of drinking from a ceramic cactus vase, to be fair...

This is first class wanker behaviour. Total Emperor’s New Clothes.

I think it looks like urine, and there’s something about the measuring jug that’s making that worse.

I think it was the Star at Harome that served their bread in a flat cap.....aye oop.
