It was Sunday night close. Martin (store manager) was back from his holiday in the morning so the close had to be spotless. I lift up the bin to empty the grease traps into the main bin and, disaster. I drop the bin. Nooooooo! It’s all happening again. Last time I coated the koral in grease we were there till 5am. What’s worse is Becky is stressed out so I need to deal with this before she notices.
Luckily, myself being “Chris Worfolk of the great grease trap disaster of 2006” (which I can now confidently claim as my title given we’re now in 2007 and nobody managed to outdo me in the final few months of the year nor had anyone previously outdone me) I had a fair clue what to do. Scrap the little 1 litre spray bottles of bottles of diluted degreaser. 4 litre bottle of undiluted heavy duty degreaser poured straight on for the win. 20 minutes later and all was good again.
We actually got out just before 3:30 which I didn’t think was too bad given it was such an ace close (everything got done). We then headed over to Texaco for a sandwhich but on finding it closed we went on a mini-road trip to Castleford to the Shell 24 hour garage. They were selling two bottles of 500ml coke for £1.40 which I thought was impressive. They are £1.20 in the union which should in theory be nice and cheap compared with a 24 hour garage in which everything is usually at least twice the price it is in shops that open sensible hours.
I ended up getting to bed about 5:50 and slept until late afternoon on Monday getting up just in time to inform my parents I wanted feeding. I managed to get a lift back into town after dinner as my parents were driving in to go see Rocky Horror Picture Show (and indeed dressed up for the occasion) and soon found myself heading out to the Royal Park Pub. As a venue it sucked as always but the company was good. This was followed by food, debate and then sleep (which will be taking place as soon as I have posted this – so long).
