https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/just-cook-yer-adelphi-hotel-20654551 Feel this is the best thread for this. I just found out that Brian Birchall who was the deputy manager of the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool died a few months ago in May . The search function didn't show that the news had been posted on here. He was the deputy manager during the 1997 popular fly on the wall BBC documentary series 'Hotel' filmed at the Adelphi. "Just cook will ya!! " is a phrase he was well known for using in the show when berating kitchen staff!

I think it might be too late for that!
