That's one reason I would never transfer to a MC, at least out on delivery you get a bit of variety (and are out of the way of the managers).

Chocolate enroder :hmmmm someone who covers something with chocolate....................................I do that but it's usually kept secret (well just between me, the wife and the million or so people who watch it online :nervous :chuckle :chuckle ).
