All
about "Geoff the Chef"
The very first one. -retired Christmas 2003
Have you got him? let me know if you have. I like to know where they all are!!
 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 rare
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!
