Catering sausages, eggs cooked to within an inch of their lives, bacon you didn't ask for, chips fresh from a bag in the freezer, some baked beans, a pot of tea, and two slices of white sliced pan bread, £23 is an insult, I'd imagine you'll not be back, using my own arithmetic they probably cost around £3 for the ingredients (if that), so 700% profit isn't bad.

DJ I went on a cruise when I was a kid with the folks. Dad use to drink G&T no ice. 5 years later on a different cruise ship in a different bar served by the same wateress. Before he could say anything she said 'Gin and tonic no ice' to my dad. I was dumbfounded. True story.

[@hardywatkins7737]

That's a good story. Actually i have a similar story. When i was 14 or so i was walking along the main road near my home and a TR7 came speeding along the road, and seemingly hit something small, lost control and span on the spot like two or three times before it ended up facing the way it was headed and sped off again. About 14 years later i was hitchhiking on the same road and a guy gave me a lift and for some reason i mentioned the TR7 incedent and he told me it was him driving and he told me about it! Just one of those spooky cool things that happen sometimes.

Do you realise paying your bill at a restaurant is a civil debt, and not paying it is not a crime? You can walk out and not pay if you choose to do so. The restaurant then has to seek payment through court action. Most good restaurants know this. At times customers of restaurants that require top payment and then serve rubbish may not get paid. If they do not pay for food at a restaurant that does not serve what it claims to provide, they might not get paid at all (old English law). A 23-pound breakfast has to be good to get paid.
