The Crew at Tattersalls

This is the crew at Tattersalls Tavern, London. We had our christmas party on Saturday16th of December. Starting after closing time, at about 11.30pm, we ventured on.. and i crawled into bed at about 6.30am on the sunday morning only to work again at 1pm on the following sunday.. fun...


This is Chris, our manager, who is a great bloke, and Lucia, on of the many Portuguese cooks in the kitchen. Both lovely people.
And this happy fellow is Krystovff, our Polish Dish Pig. He is a truly inspirational fellow. He came from Krakow, Poland about 3 years ago with a bag of food, and a bag of clothes... That was it. What was even more inspirational is the little fact that he managed to get a job, whilst teaching himself English.. He is still patchy, but the fact that he taught it to himself was unreal!

This is Matt, the only South African over here (at the pub at least). He has been at the pub for about 2 years, and has some awesome stories about his time in jail, fighting with police in South Africa, and his wealth of useless crap knowledge. Some of which even i know is wrong, but i dont want to burst the guys bubble by correcting him. Trying to become a manager, so a bit of a wanker at times, but over all a nice guy.



This is Guill, our French Assisstant Manager. He is so French, that you could cut his accent with a herring. Its really that thick! But he is a great guy, and having been all over ther world, also has some great stories. from what i can understand, he has a strange James Bond and Scarface fetish..
This is the rest of the Crew at Tattersalls. Clockwise from left is:
Lucia, Donza, the other Aussie living on residence, Hudson, another portuguese guy and actually started teaching me Portuguese that night, of which some i actually remember, one of Hudsons friends, and Norman. Norman is our head cook (i dont call them chefs because they really are terrible cooks, but the effort is there) and has the temprement of a pissed off cobra. he stands at about 6ft6, and, as you can see, towers over me and the guy is leaning over. i stand at 6ft, so you can see the difference. Then is Maira, another Portuguese chick, but she works in the bar with us. then is little old Krystovff, who can drink a pint of Stella Artois in 3 seconds flat.. honest!

i hope you have enjoyed hearing about my friends in London, as they are alot of fun, and have helped keep my mind of you guys for a while. dont worry, i still think of all of you lots, but these guys are helping me forget you! *chortles*

cheers!
