Spud Spoonfuls
Spud Spoonfuls
Sir,—Thought I'd try out the new Caf. on the second day it was open, hearing of no cases of food-poisoning on opening day, and found it quite delightful. Clean, shiny, chefs hats and all. The food too was quite nice—the newness of the cutlery alone did not account for the ease with which I subdued the mutton—but I rose as hungry as before I'd partaken. This was solely due to the inadequate amount of potatoe. I admit my fallibility in saying that hunger is dependant primarily on lack of quantity not lack of quality. The quality was there but three or four spoonfuls of spud would have left me quite sated and not quite famished. I would even tolerate a small increase in price for this satisfaction.
Also, what about 7.30 p.m. closing time for those five to seveners ?

Yours faithfully,
Partus Tempus.
