A better chef would ask if you wanted it 'thick or thin' .. mind you, would have loved to know what Flashy's reply to this question would be ... :D
didn't think the chef carved it? thought it was just some low paid oik.:confused: plus the chefs at them places are usually busy microwaving. lol

Bill was his lad that lived in the cottages and used to come in each night for a half.

I used to enjoy working there and I think we got it to a good standard. food was good quality and reasonable price. Ale was on top form ( even the head brewer from the brewery used to tell me I kept a cracking pint). In the end I was poached by Whitbread by an area manager who used to come in for his lunch and offered me a job there and then.

In that case they were both called Bill Ian, remember young Bill when his dad was still behind the bar, he lead him a dogs life, young Bill used to set of walking just to get out of the way
