So, I was at a wedding reception on Saturday evening. It was very nice, there have been lots of weddings to go to this year - a sure sign of getting old. Anyway, halfway through the evening a buffet was brought out (as usual we'd all eaten before to counter unexpected events - and on this occasion just as well!) and it all looked lovely, hot stuff, sandwiches and quiches etc.
And then it was gone.
Honestly. In the five minutes between noticing the arrival of the food and turning around again hoardes of starving (they must have been) wedding guests stampeded the table and left empty plates and stunned looking waitresses in their wake...
Piranas or locusts (thanks Mr Lady Librarian!) had nothing on these guys.
