Have You Been Employed in the Food Industry?

Wait! I did pick strawberries and raspberries when I was a kid. One summer I made enough to buy an AM transistor radio. Yeah, I was pretty slow. When I was probably 12 years old picking strawberries, a buddy of mine and I would cut out at lunchtime and walk over to the railroad tracks to share our lunches with the hobos, then walk home to his house and shoot pool in the basement. Good times! Betcha no one does that these days...

My wife and I worked in two pubs in London - 3 months total selling drinks and food. Wife was on kitchen duties and serving until later in the shift when she helped behind the bars.

Here's a bit of proof...... for those who don't believe me....

One of five bars inside the pub - Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - famous London pub directly opposite the old Barber Shop of Sweeney Todd.

Samuel Johnson who wrote one of the first dictionary's used to sit in this pub a write or socialise with friends. He had his own seat as well.

Survived the great fire of London - well...most of it did. Original floor beams downstairs still bear the scars of the fire.

Yep 25 years growing grapes.. Had all kinds helping at harvest time. It was always funny when we picked by hand or machine hearing “workers” say oh when do they pick out the insects sometimes snakes, mice and small birds that ended up in the mechanical harvester… I was like yeah whatever comes out of the de-stemmer the rest will get pressed.

I'll need to remember that next time I'm enjoying the "bouquet" and "legs" of my favorite wine...

I forgot the Cotton Candy Stand at Dorney Park. $1 an hour and $1 a day bonus if you stuck out the season. Girls there too. It was good. Blew my nose Pink for a week.
