Form a club!!

The old farts of the Sheffield Folk Music scene (retired that is) meet monthly, go for a superb meal at the local college's catering department where a fantastic three-course lunch costs £5.15 and we somehow manage to get the bill up to £12.00 each.

Of course the staff are mainly trainees and they have been known to make amusing mistakes. We were once asked what wines we wanted and looking around the table there were two or three who could be identified for various reasons as being non-drinkers on that day. So we asked for "one red, one white". Along came one glass of red and a glass of white.

"Bottles dear, bottles......."
