So this morning we went for a breakfast meeting (ergh) and I ordered some toast.

The goblin that provided us with crockery advised us that she had no clean knives. She acknowledged that this was an issue for cutting/spreading things and so suggested that we use spoons to cut sausages and spread butter. :-|

10 GPs and 2 receptionists sat around a large, circular table and spread butter and hacked away at sausages with spoons. :-(

Just before she finished she returned with a packet of plastic knives.

Did you have forks? You only need a fork to eat a sausage.

Fortunately we did have forks, yes. That being said, I was not bought up in such a fashion whereby eating a sausage with a fork was considered acceptable.

No, no, you don't need cutlery to eat a sausage, the sausage is cutlery.

She obviously thought she would push them as far as possible and see how long it took for them to realise it was all a joke.... think ****s never got it though

Goblin advised that the dishwasher was broken and all the knives had been transported to their sister cafe where a working diswasher was present.

My colleague pointed out that that perhaps it would have been a good idea to clean all/some by hand for customers that may arrive early but this fell on deaf ears.

How do you eat a sausage if not with a fork?
