So I went into the butchers this morning and asked for an ox tail. The butcher said: “Certainly sir, once upon a time there was this ox..."
I'd arrived at the restaurant a bit early for a family meal. "Would you mind waiting for a while?" asked the manager. "Not at all," I replied. "Good," he said. "Take these 2 Coq au Vins over to the couple by the window, then start clearing tables 4 and 7"
