Expecting a reasonably large platter we were a little underwhelmed when the waitress came towards our table carrying what looked like a very small breadboard with two mini bowls on...

| 12-3-2010 | MikeP(etty minded), you accuse me of whinging and whining? that really is the pot calling the kettle black !
you have near to a thousand comments to your name. Most of them spitefull snarking at other people ! | Mr Hicks |
| 12-3-2010 | "Why do you think the australians call us whinging poms and the americans call us whining limeys?"
Because that's what exactly what you are, but you are too ineffectual to do it properly and get results, which is why you carry on whiniging and whining. When Aussies and Americans co...more | MikeP |
| 12-3-2010 | CJ, you say the british are terrible at complaining. The question I would like to ask you is have you ever worked dealing with the public? a bar? a restaurant? a supermarket?
In my experience it is usually people who have never worked in a job directly dealing with the public who say "the...more | Mr Hicks |
| 12-3-2010 | I recall once hearing about a survey which says us Brits are terrible at complaining when things go wrong.
This is a prime example of this.
You should never be afraid to complain, especially when it comes to food service. If they don't seem bothered then a quick mention about Trading Sta...more | CJ |
| 10-3-2010 | Eating out in Britain is hit and miss.
In general, I find restaurant food quite uninspiring and overpriced, particularly, but not exclusively Italian restaurants.
I can make most of the food on an Italian restaurants' menu at home with a bottle of Ragu !
It astounds me why people are pre...more | EvilTory |
| 30-1-2010 | It is precisely this attitude that makes us British what we are.This is a classic example of rip-off Britain.Unfortunately,it is a sad fact that we as a nation tend not to complain at the appropriate time where poor quality food & service is concerned.I get so angry by the fact that these estab...more | Laughing Gravy |
| 29-12-2009 | Who would share a dinner for two with a fat old moo with sciatica, yep disgustingly scratching away at themselves, allergic to everything in sight? Yurghhh. Go away Salmonella Sally. Get lost Typhoid Mary. Live yoghurt is not going to cure this ailing vampyra. Nor is globular whoreming in Argentine...more | Hunker-Muggering |
| 18-12-2009 | I see nothing rude in Fanny-Ann's comments. Complaining is the only way that standards can be improved and those who do not complain have only themselves to blame if they feel ripped-off. The failure of people to complain in the UK is one of the reasons that service delivery is so poor.

| 18-12-2009 | Ok fanny-ann, I'm so sorry for 'moaning'-not, isn't that the point of this site? It is called the Weekly Gripe after all.
Do you just come on here to be abusive? Unlike, I suspect, most people who do for a little lighthearted banter which at the same time can be informative.

| 16-11-2009 | Pie in the Sky, you are absolutely right! Pub grub is not what it used to be - it is now an attempt at pretentiousness that almost always fails. The food should be simple - as you say, good old fashioned Steak and Ale Pie and Mash, etc - not the load of fine sounding, almost invariably disappoint...more | miserablemoaninggit |
| 16-11-2009 | Pub grub used to be good old fashioned home cooked faire, served at low prices. Now too many of them try it on by emulating high dining eateries - and not very well, I might add, with dainty (stingy) portions with fancy sounding menu items instead. What happened to good old fashioned Steak and Ale ...more | Pie in the Sky |
| 16-11-2009 | The only time I order food in restaurants I've not eaten in before is when I've glanced across a few tables to see what I'm likely to get for my money. Once I've selected my chosen dish, being eaten by the diners next to me, I place my order.
Eateries tend to make most of their m...more | Grumpy xx |
