Title: Remember the peeps who used to nick food at free functions?
Post by: Cherry (Alcock) on April 19, 2009, 08:09:22 AM
Anyone remember those huge, free functions at the Rec Club and the aunties & uncles who used to bring containers and bags and slip food into their bags??  Very funny!

We have a woman who attends my speaker programme at the business school (they are free) and she brings a basket and loads it up!  We leave her be because she's a real character!  Funny thing is that she's very wealthy!

Tuppeware parties .. the agents usually convince one to host the party  at ones home  invite lots of friends  ..  the  person hosting got a tpperware gift , the agent  lots of sales , and the guests carting home  more tupperware containers ...
The tupperware brigade is where people  shamelessly bring their containers to  a party to cart  some goodies home ..

one character who shall remain nameless got the nickname 'kreefkop' because he loaded up crayfish into plastic bags at one of these functions  to take home.

Good idea, this.  No cooking and shopping, rather just collect....
Any body in my area planning a funeral, birthday party, doop, whatever, please let me know, I need to stock my fridge!
