The Gossips you got a story to tell?
Creation forTrophy
"Geoff the
Chef" The very first one. 1990
Retires Christmas 2003
The 1990 original shaped
Geoff, tall dark and handsome. He is seen here with a couple sent to me as samples
(middle) and two of my 1990 Black Mammas.
"Geoff
the Chef"
As he is today. a little shorter and wiser!
...was first produced in 1990 as an entirely different shape .
He began very tall and thin with a slight stoop, I have included a picture of him above.
He was made whilst I still lived with my late Mother God bless her. I know she will
still be watching me.
Over the years "Geoff" has always kept his popularity with
"collectors" and is still a most popular piece. He has had a "clean
outfit" on from time to time having spilt "gravy"or "fruit juice"
down himself from time to time.!
He has three pairs of trousers, black pin striped, pink pin striped and a light blue pin
striped pair.
He owns a sturdy pair of black shiny shoes but has also worn a polished brown tan pair.
The necker, worn to cover his "double chin" is usually either red coloured or
pale blue depending what matches his trousers This necker or necktie is always tied neatly
in a big knot with tails flowing.
Geoff always carries a steaming hot pie, the crusty edges pressed with his own massive
fingers to form a lovely pattern all around the crusty top,
You may notice his worried look sometimes , eye brows raised and fingers crossed behind
his back. Another satisfied customer?....he hopes so.!
But ......sometimes "Geoff " is so busy that he forgets and tends to over cook his pies, sadly he ends up with more than just burnt fingers!
