For your information Chris, there's more to sorting this than simply phoning, placing an order and everything being magically and immediately cool. Roweena had to take a step back from her business for a while. Plus, it's a new business for her which will not immediately present itself as perfect. P...

I still say marg, fresh tomato, 2 packets of salted crisps, and ketchup.

If you haven't tried this, you have no right to dis it. It is the dog's salty bollocks.

Right,

So, we're getting cakes and she's marking them out into 12.

We're getting brownies £12 for 20.

Her stuff is the dog's sugary bollocks.

Claustrophobia is easy in the kitchen. I agree, I am going to crack down on this. However, can we use our common sense on this? Like, Nix ALWAYS ends up serving customers for 10-15 mins when he comes in to make his coffee, and doesn't get in the way. Actually, I think we should give him special priv...

I sit corrected. Chopped is better. It's not as pretty, but salads last longer.

Yo! I've decided to Night Manage tonight. If you're a budding new Night Manager it's a great opportunity to come help (even if it's just for the end) if you want clarification as to how to close up. There's a full staff of volunteers, there's no event (though I may do a 'pub' quiz. Maybe) so it'll b...

Yo,

We need help today 5-10 as someone called in sick, a night manager, 7-close and 9-close. Give Forest a shout if you can help.

A*

lucky

Yo!

We need a Night Manager for tonight. There's volunteers a-plenty all night and all day, just a Night Manager needed.

There's no event on tonight, so it would be an easy shift - a great opportunity for more new Night Managers to practice their managerial skills.

I am going to Night Manage tonight. I'm going to close the cafe and sit and do work. If anyone would like to help me out, serving drinks and stuff, please feel free to pop along or call me. As well as the documentary, there's the opening of what seems to be a pretty spectacular exhibition from 7pm o...

Yo, it's documentary night tonight. Fancy working it? We have spaces 5-10pm, Night Manager, 7-close, 10-close. Also, we've had no-one on for the morning and the place is quite a mess. Come and help out now if you like, even if it's just a couple of hours or whatever. If I don't get a Night Manager b...

By the way, for those that are confused (and I know of one already) a 'Crisp' sandwich is when you take two slices of bread, 'butter' them heavily, stick crisps in the middle and add ketchup.

NOT a sandwich that is 'crisp' like a lettuce.

I spoke to her about the flapjacks. I think she's going to make them larger.

I seriously think they are better. They're more wholesome and feel like they've actually done some good. And they don't make your teeth hurt.

AND, they're 50p each.

A*

lucky

I totally agree. The Crochet thing is getting really huge, bigger and bigger each time at the moment. So, the three options are - having the group in the Gallery, but with definite guidelines which we will have to 'enforce' ourselves. Because I'm not always there, it would be up to other people who ...

I just spoke to Roweena again. She can only deliver on Saturdays at the moment. I've ordered two cakes and a tray of flapjacks. She can do a tray of 20 flapjacks for £10. 50p each. Cakes are still at £12 I've also ordered a half tray of brownies to try. A full tray of 20 is £14. 70p each. At the mom...

Yo!

Bryony needs some help, and we need help tonight in general.

It's documentary night! From 9 onwards. I don't know which one it is.

We need a Night Manager, and anyone who can help out until 8, and 7-close and 9-close.

Spanks! Alex*

Okay, I'll sort one out, saying it will generally be available weekdays, with the exception of Wednesdays when the menus will evaporate into thin air.

Where should we get crisps from?

Contentment of the people using the Forest is a very important part of my job. Like it or not, be it my job or not, when I'm working I am the first Forest person that people will interact with. Therefore, I get asked questions before people look at the posters or look around for people. It's fine, i...

Right. A simpler version. At the top of the menu there's the big thing saying don't order off the menu blah blah blah. I try to stick to this rigidly because as soon as you give someone a price for something off the top of your head, and offer them something off the menu (e.g. yeah, you can have som...

Shannon is all alone until five. It's so lonely when this happens. If you have spare time, maybe you can go in and help her? She is lovely, and I'm sure will be eternally grateful for your action.

Shannon, we only have that cat litter for breakfast at home. I want a sausage sandwich!

Hi. I can't make it tonight, my sister is visiting and I never get to see her. So, here are my points. Nix may be able to explain some stuff, but don't shoot he, the messenger. 1. The milk fridge is a mik warmer. Is there another fridge we can shift in it's place? 2. I've re-done the closing checkli...

Oh, and Swithun left the kitchen amazing last night. Thus, the kitchen was practically ready by 11, apart from the fact sandwich stuff was roasting. It was sweet!

A*

lucky

My point with the sausage sandwiches is that we have the baked potato machine on anyway, and it takes 5mins to stick one in beside the already cooking potatoes, slice some bread and whack it all together. How about just during the weekdays? I'm saying this as I'm currently working 4/5 weekdays and i...

If the night managing list is covered properly, and the kitchen is left in good shape, then the hour of five minute jobs will be negated and we could open at 11am easily.

I may have brought tis up before here... The sign at the front of the Forest is cool, something we've had for ages. However, it's not really clear, and confuses a lot of people. I think it contributes to loosing potential people. Is anyone happy to take action on this? I'll try make the Front of Hou...

Have you checked that the events are not likely to go on past 11pm? I know people have no right to stay on after if they don't ask Night Managers, but In future, I think it's best to do these things not on the weekends. Then again, I don't have a typical working week, which is usually why these thin...

I know we should discuss this at the next Cafe and Events WG Meeting, but I'm just getting a feel for it. We technically don't sell foods in the morning as we're preparing the kitchen. However, I wonder if we could have a specific, basic menu for the mornings. Things that take minutes to prepare and...

I called her today. She's going to call us next Tuesday for an order.

She sounds really nice.

There's a poster outside the vollie cupboard saying we'll throw stuff out on Thursdays, but I don't think we've done it yet.

There's LOADS of stuff in the Vollie Cupboard. Claim it before Friday 3rd and it will be safe.

If not, I will sell it all to Cash Converters and spend the money on gin.

Thanks! I'll let him know.

If the main wall space is taken up by posters, would there still be enough room for Andy to paint a little around the door, like a border?

Just an idea, I'll get him to mail TK mail.

I said to count how much stock people put in, then count how much is left in the end and get money for the difference i.e. amount sold.
