You bleach yours?

I used to have problems ordering water, but I've noticed recently that it seems to be getting easier. That can only be down to one of 2 things....the locals are learning to listen properly, or more likely, and more disturbingly, I'm starting to talk like the locals

At the risk of merging threads, or dragging this one OT, a note for any waitstaff out there....if I sit down with my kids at your table, and I order iced water all round, then that, and only that, is what I want. There is nothing, repeat nothing guaranteed to reduce your tip quicker than you immediately looking at my kids and asking them what soda they would like.

Read about it in one of the wife's magazines....that one found the recycling bin real quick

I'm gonna guess your wife reads Cosmo?

Only when she gets to the mailbox first. Work of the devil, that magazine.....

Why do they do it? (On second thoughts, don't answer that)

Does it mean if you happen to meet a woman who bleaches her rusty sheriff's badge that there's a fair chance she'll let you give her one up the wrong 'un?

I hope you clear your browsing history regularly.....

Or Bleaching Monthly.

(That's the title, not a suggestion).

The customer demand for it appears to be an unforeseen consequence of excessive waxing.
I'll be bu99ered if I know.

I nearly suggested the exact same title, ..... then figured that a carefully crafted Google search would likely find the, er, offending magazine article, and indeed it did!

I like to live dangerously! But most of my BE posts are via my phone, so I carry my browsing history around with me, and Mrs P has her own phone, so rarely touches mine.

Speaking of family dining with kids...get slightly annoyed when you get dumped in some back shitty corner because you've got kids and it's a fastish food place.

Last place was amusing though, older couple that sat down next to us got the hump with the waitress about sitting next to kids, so they were moved. Two mins later, a larger family sat down next to them and their kids really were terrors

I know sod all, myself ...

Was that me and Mrs N.?
