Title: Hitherto unseen levels of bull$hittery
Post by: Viral_Jim on 29 June 2017, 15:54:39
Meeting down in the big smoke today, arrived a bit early and ordered "a sparkling water please".

What I received:

Artisan water from Norway

Along with olives, nibbles and a box of tissues  ;D

Some people really will buy anything! Any guesses on what the bill will be?  :/

Change from a tenner if you're lucky? :D

I suppose you can be thankful that they served it in a glass and not on an old roof tile. ;D

Don't get me bloody started on that cr@p. Once when working in France I was served an appetiser- 2 crackers and some pate, on a square of fake moss!  ::)

I'm just not going to ask what the tissues were for  ::)

£8.50?

Depends on the nibbles.

PS I hope those are Spanish olives!

I agree - the best part of a tenner.
I remember about 5 years ago my daughter got charged around £125 for a bottle of vodka at China White nightclub.  ::) :o

True. Client paying the bill.  ;)

The bottle looks remarkably like a sample jar from the doctor.

The water looks clear so my guess is well hydrated urine. :)

It's described as Norwegian Artisan Water.  They musty have got a few plumbers, chippies etc from Oslo to piss in the bottles!  ;D

Is the correct answer!  :y

However, in this case the client is picking up a not-at-all-unreasonable £3.95. Given this was opposite tower hill tube, and had the benefits of free wifi I suspect this may be the cheapest place to buy a bottle of water, snacks and Wifi in that area  ;D. And that is before you consider the thoroughly lovely surroundings.

A very nice chap in a suit and an honest-to-goodness bowler hat opened the door of my taxi, carried my bag and ushered me through to the cocktail bar. You don't get service like that in Kidderminster  ;D.

My second meeting of the afternoon, was less good value however. One burger, one Cesar salad, one diet coke and 2 waters - £75 plus service (which was appauling)  :o

Well if you will go to Burger King instead of McDonalds what can you expect.  ;)

It is.  Axminster Carpets is not far from here and I worked there as a lad. :y
