the salads are so sophisticated that they are prepacked in plastic.

so unfortunately we couldn't even blame that.

perhaps... maybe I under estimate costa coffee..

Maybe there is a well oiled machine under that thick as pig***t veneer.
I should begin to treat them with the caution and respect they deserve.

I keep telling Dh, don't piss off the waiter with your attitude, he'll spit in your curry

I'm sure that's not why you had a caterpillar in your salad

DH does it to Caesars staff, I Looooooooooove their food, esp the Butter Chicken but they are so 'in your face' the majority of the time, moving shit around on your table, we move it back, moving it again - it's like 'please leave the table alone, bring the food'

Bit like the staff in BHS - sure they're on commission - can I help you madam?

I NEVER ever make a fuss about anything in a restaurant until I have been served food.

Otherwise you are never going to be 100% sure whether that really is extra coconut cream on your balti....
