Following on from this story about a rat pinching a chip from a customer whilst he was eating in a Weather spoons in Trowbridge, has any had something similar happen and what would you do if it happened to you?

Personally I'd ask them to make sure the steak was actually dead before bringing it to me next time.

    A rat knocked out our electricty just before we were leaving for Baltic Wharf last weekend. We have a store and he/she had a niibled an overhead wire....maybe we should have had chips available?! Sticking Tongue Out We
    don't have rats in residence, it was an old unknown bite that finally caused a short. Just glad we weren't doing any long distance travel as it was panic stations, to put it politely, till sorted.

    I saw “Dinosaur Burgers” listed on a pub menu. I didn’t have one as I doubted they’d be fresh.

    It was probably a Siberian Filigree Hamster, owned by the cook,  a distant relative of well known Basil (the Hamster,that is, not the cook) . They have a homing instinct to restaurants  for some reason ?

    The title reminds me of a gag Paul Merton told on HIGNFY - a little risque, so if easily offended look away now.

    Couple in a posh restaurant order soup for their starter. Waiter brings it but husband notices the waiter's thumb is in the soup.

    "Do you realise your thumb's in my soup" says hubby. "Yes" replies waiter "I do that to keep my thumb warm".

    "Well why don't you just stick it up your ar$e" replies angry hubby.

    "Sir, I do when I'm in the kitchen" ! says waiter.

    Reminds me of the joke: man finds a Fly in his soup. He said to the waiter, What is this fly doing in my soup? Waiter said. The breast stroke sir!!
