My last post was really whingy, so here are some fun photos! The sexual harrassment does suck (WAHEY) but there are loads of good bits about being a Lady Butcher which ultimately outweigh the bad bits. 

Hello Laydeeeez! This is top butcher totty - on the left is Marc, he is Mitzi's boyf. They used to snog each other when they were kids then they grew up and went off and got married to other people and had kids and got divorced and now they are back together. I swear to god, it is so romantic. They love each other so much. The one with the grin is Chris, he's a bit of a geezer. Irresistible!

 Roe deer and fallow deer at either end of the photo, in the middle is burnt pork. I think there is some kind of health and safety issue with the pork because Mitzi keeps telling regulars that this is their last year to get it and when I ask why she just gives me a look.

 This is Larry, he goes to Smithfield market to get meat for us and he always wears a flat cap. Also, Larry's voice is quite posh. I believe that beneath his cap there are MANY SECRETS.


This is Ian, Jessie and Mitzi at The Block. The Block is where all the meat gets chopped. At the end of the day it has to be sanded down to keep it clean so there are big grooves in it like where Homer sits on the sofa. Usually it looks like some horrible animal farm warzone but you can't really tell from this photo/these guy's faces.


This is Pedro, I like him but he can be a right fucking prick.


Here's a bunch of stuff we sell! I should have turned the flash off. 


The other day some man asked me if this was "Bambi's mum" and then pissed himself for ages. Another man asked if the venison hanging outside were "dear" but it was such a shit joke I didn't even realise it was a joke until about an hour later.


This is Tiny, he is about 8 foot. He is pictured here with Teddy, my favourite customer. Teddy likes to come in and sweep up. He says precocious things and gets in the way. Work stops when he arrives as even pervo-sexist-dickhead butchers find him completely adorable.


This is me! Don't laugh at my outfit because it is fucking freezing in the butchers.
