Life as we know it is over. The routine of life in this historic institution has been shattered. Buttery roast, which has been served on Wednesday lunchtime since Lady Margret Beaufort opened the buttery in 1511, has moved to Thursday. I implore you to sign this petition to bring order back to the college and restore our Wednesday roast. Thursday is simply too close to Saturday Brunch and the Sunday roast, Wednesday provides the perfect balance to the Johnian week.
I was just sitting in the buttery again and thinking about how the rhythm feels entirely broken because the roast is now on a Thursday which is just far too crowded with the weekend menu looming. People keep coming up to me in the library to talk about how much they miss the Wednesday tradition and honestly even the kitchen staff seem confused by the new schedule.

I honestly thought I was the only one losing sleep over the roast schedule but looking at the momentum tonight I realize the collective anger is actually quite beautiful. It is bizarre how much a piece of meat can define a week but here we are and I am really starting to think we might actually get the kitchen to listen.

I missed the first one, must have been at U20s training. This is a farcical and frankly disappointing decision. #DoC

I’d rather be at Oxford than have a Thursday roast
