One of these?

Vomit omelettes and swims in rotten food: Inside the weird (and revolting) world of fraternities | Mail Online

That looks like something my dog leaves on the kitchen floor when he's not feeling well.

Does it feature in the core menu? It's enough to make you want to bring marmite butties for lunch.

Mister B

All "offaly" amusing, but might it by any chance be possible to resume discussion of pay, charges and allowances, and what arguments can be submitted to the AFPRB on behalf of serving personnel for the ensuing year?

StopStart
All were 3 egg-omelettes
Chips were help yourself from the similarly sized chip scoops

I like omelettes - they are a known constant regardless of daily menu which may or may not be to your liking - unless you like MEATBALLS (in various guises) in which case EVERY day is to your liking!

I was merely pointing out the inconsistencies in the PAYD system depending upon filling, location & time of day.

I'm not sure how Trading standards would view charging 2 different prices for exactly the same meal at different times on the same day?
Would the mess allow you to pay for 2x at lunch and eat the 2nd at dinner?

80p/day = £178/yr (based on a 5 day week minus 38 days annual leave)

I'm sure you must agree, this is another pay-cut (or increase)-by-stealth depending upon your posting location/shifts!

Of course everyone is always able to Big-Up to Scoff, Supreme or Special, but that is a different meal for the extra cost, my gripe is 80p difference for exactly the same dish!


Don't get me started on sausages............

too late!!!!!
2 sausages on Monday lunch (with honey & mustard sauce) £1.35
2 sausages on Tuesday lunch (with Sage & Onion gravy) £2.50
both with a selection of carbs, bread & butter, veg, tea coffee etc

The only difference, gravy includes a 99p dessert which you didn't ask for, but still doesn't justify 16p difference for the change of sauce.
This is where the various PAYD companies are making their money from people who don't claim their dessert!

So since the introduction of PAYD, the people who don't eat desserts are still paying for it, only now it's twice a day!

StopStart: don't be so harsh, it's attention to details such as this that has made the military what it is today.......
