Saltgate

So we threw away all the sugar-bowls-mistakenly-filled-with-salt. Or so we thought. This afternoon a lady who'd ordered tea brought the sugar bowl back to us saying her tea tasted of salt. We made her a new pot of tea, took a fresh bowl of sugar out to her (having tasted it) and were mortified when that too turned out to be full of salt. Her companion
laughed and laughed. She didn't. At first. Refunded money and a chocolate bar helped her to see the funny side.
The morning started with a large wedding in the church. A gospel choir from Birmingham all wanted takeaway mochas and hot chocolate; a group of 29 wanted....everything. We were quite tight on staff but my friend Jo put a pinny on and mucked in. Gina fell ill and had to be driven home by Eileen. Jo became crucial. A local couple who'd ordered one bowl of soup ended up with a jacket potato AND soup. Quite a day.
Eileen is back. She tests for antibiotics and tb, cos milk can't have either in it.
She should test our sugar bowls.
