Movember - Tom the Freezer

Sadly the time has come to reveal our last item of catering equipment taking part in Movember. Our final folically-endowed friend is the largest member of our Mid West Movember team, Tom the Freezer.

Inspired by his namesake Tom Selleck's illustrious mo, Tom the Freezer has produced possibly the most magnificent moustache of all our equipment, accessorised beautifully by his finely flared nostrils and delicately raised eyebrow.


Unfortunately though, a rather ungentlemanly spat has broken out within the Mid West Movember team, between Tom the Freezer and Harry the Bratt Pan. When Tom the Freezer saw Harry the Bratt Pan's somewhat Selleck-esque effort, he decided to try and freeze him out of the team. We tried to explain that he doesn't have the monopoly on Selleck-style 'taches, but sadly Tom the Freezer became rather cold with us.

John the Slicer tried to slice through the icy atmosphere, but alas, to no avail. Even Edward the Hot Cupboard's effort to thaw the frosty mood was rebuffed. Gary the Dishwasher decided - probably quite sensibly  - to wash his hands of the whole situation, while Charlie the Chargrill and Carl the Soup Kettle tried in vain to maintain the formerly warm and friendly atmosphere in the team.

It's very sad to see things end this way, but perhaps it was inevitable, given all the testosterone-fuelled happenings of Movember. It's tragic that our equipment has taken it so seriously that they've ended up falling-out, but perhaps it just shows their unwavering dedication to the cause. If you'd like to help make sure that this sad situation hasn't been in vain, please donate to Movember here. Don't forget to visit the Movember Gallery on our website too.

We are hopeful that after tomorrow's big shave, harmony will be restored in the Mid West warehouse, and that all will be forgotten. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed.

Movember - Carl the Soup Kettle

When Carl the Soup Kettle was told about Movember, he didn't need to be asked twice. As a bit of a rocker, he'd fancied some rock-star facial hair for ages, but could never think of a good enough excuse to grow any.


As well as rocking out, Carl the Soup Kettle's other passion in life is swimming. "Why would any self-respecting soup kettle take up swimming?" I hear you ask. The answer is simple. He misunderstood the concept of crowd-surfing and didn't live close to a beach.

Once his 'tache had really begun to grow, Carl the Soup Kettle decided it would be 'totally awesome' to bleach it, for the ultimate rock 'n' roll facial hair. Unfortunately his love of swimming was to be his downfall, and his mo turned a bit green from the chlorine.

As well as warming soup, gravy, custard and an array of other sauces, Carl the Soup Kettle has also been known to fill himself with mulled wine and cider to help 'get the party started'. Thanks to his rock star status, Carl the Soup Kettle also has a number of devoted fans, known as his 'soupies'.

If you've enjoyed the moustache-growing efforts of Charlie the Chargrill, Harry the Bratt Pan, John the Slicer and Carl the Soup Kettle, show your support for Movember by visiting our staff team's webpage and donating here. Make sure to visit our Movember Gallery too!

Rock on.
