    Went for meal

    In a rather nice restaurant, excellent reputation, been before and was always happy. Ordered fillet steak for myself and the other half but what arrived was not fillet, more like sirloin. Questioned this and was told to taste it, it would 'be' like fillet.

    Told the waitress 'bye bye' and drove to a local Indian takeaway which was the only place open. I told them the story in passing and eventually left with with an excellent curry, tasters of various dishes served up while we waited, diaries, life stories, superb banter with other punters waiting for their order and cost less than a quarter of what the restaurant would have cost.

    What price customer service? Johnny foreigner has it sussed.

      Well, it was kind of an indeterminate cut and there was a difference in price after all. What got a hair up my arse was the indifferent attitude of the kitchen staff and that's why I walked.

      Too few people in this country are prepared to take a stand and not put up with sh1t for fear of Embarrassment or whatever.

        good on you!
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

              Pretty clever tactic this one, take a bird to a posh restaurant, find some little matter to complain about, leave without paying, then take her for an Indian. True Yorkshire man tactics!
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
