    There were 30 roast potatoes between 8 people and he took 9! Nine!

    He left you three each, how many would you usually have had.

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I was at a carvery once where someone only helped themsleves to potatoes and yorkshires. With their hands.

    They also flattened the yorkies onto the potatoes with their hands to make more fit on the plate.

    It might have been less shocking if they'd have chosen at least one colourful vegetable.

    It's illegal in NSW to take food like that with your hands.

    People don't break the rule either. At worst they'll grab a bread roll with the bag they plan to put it in.

    We had 27 between 4 of us, but they were quite small (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!)

    We want to walk from Sheringham to Cromer tomorrow to buy some fresh bread, and then take the train back. No trains! All right, we'll take the bus. No buses! Bah, humbug! :)
