Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

cynic so the bbc news in incorrect the two sprints did not take drugs
the hospitals did not treat over a thousand people last xmas
then they should be prosecuted for giving out false information
you must be a poster who hates the truth and facts
close your eyes block you ears then you can live a life of ignorance.

Restaurants have always typically doubled the price they pay for wine. It is partly the cost of holding stock, especially the expensive wines. Some restaurants have very large sums tied up in holding wine stock. The profit on the wine helps keep the food prices down. You can get good deals on wine in restaurants, but you need some basic knowledge. A blacklist of rude customers seems a good idea.

Nissan's Datsun brand is re-born after more than 30 years
It was one of the marques that helped Japanese carmakers establish themselves in Europe and the US.
In the 1970s, the fuel efficient Datsun became the car of choice for the everyday motorist fed up with unreliable gas-guzzlers.
Now, more than 30 years after Nissan decided to kill off the brand, the Datsun has been reborn.

Rude customers means anyone they don't want to serve and why not.

what the fuck have sprinters taking drugs got to do with the diarrhea about restaurants being the major source of food poisoning?
========
separately
if restaurants did generally only mark up wines by 100%, i wouldn't gripe but i think 3x is pretty much the norm and in some establishments 4x, which is a disgrace

I can the restaurants in the 70s. with "bring your own wine" and corkage of 50 p or £1.
A number of French run restaurants introduced food to Brum.
One was delighted when we brought a couple of cases in.
