The 3 'mature' ladies in the office have a dilemma. K, who retired last summer after 40 years in the university, has finally given a date for His retirement do. The ladies have 4 weeks to arrange a buffet. Due to budget restraints, the buffet must cost only £20-£25. 60 people are expected to attend.
They have spent 44 minutes discussing whether you can use Value bread, at 28p a loaf, in a buffet, and just how much ham you can buy for £3, and whether that will be enough for 60 people. But will 60 people eat? What are the statistics? I heard only 40% actually make use of a buffet lunch. I heard it was 60%. Well that's thrown a spanner in the works. What about crisps??
I have actually just screamed. They looked at me and asked me what I think of the whole mess. I told them I'll make the fucking sandwiches myself. That's shut them up.
