Waiting staff on rollerskates at The Wharf?
Managers at The Kitchen at The Wharf cafe bar and restaurant on the river are refusing to confirm or deny rumours that their waiting staff will be on rollerskates from next week.
"Well we had a few rehearsals last month" said one of them on the phone as he caught the bus to Taunton earlier this week (above), "and they didn't go too well...one of our waitresses ended up in Chubby's when we'd only sent her to table 4 with a plate of jellied eels. Another was found with her hips wedged into the back of one of Dave's Juke Boxes at his workshop on Bow Street. She spent 9 hours in surgery at Musgrove Park Hospital having a 7-inch single removed."
But the Governor at nearby Langport Prison (above) said he was concerned the sight of waiting staff darting about on wheels outside might give his inmates ideas about how to dodge security and get back to The Royal Oak in Somerton.
"We've had to put up extra wooden cladding and panels over our building's windows and doors to block the view" he said, although he withdraw that statement when we reminded him how that was done when the development first went up years ago.
"Oh yes" said the Governor, "I remember now - we got a job lot at Travis Perkins but they only had one tin of Cuprinol left."
