    so poster calls it coldslaw...we all knew what he/she meant didnt we?

    Ah, but what if the OP got home and experienced a strange tingling on their lip followed by a crusty outbreak of Herpes?

    It could be that the burger came with a Cold Sore and they did not read the description properly......?

    Did the menu indicate how many chips were included?

    Genuine question.









    Not really.

    I think you need to read the small print again where clause 14c clearly states that you shouldn't read anything in the small print.

    Too right I would involve trading standards!

    It isn't the fact that it's "a measely pot of coldslaw" it's the principle of it. Even after showing the manageress (?) the menu she still tried to claim that it wasn't included. It might have only have been 2p's worth but multiplied by the number of customers that probably dine in there it might pay for her holiday.

    Or it might just be some lumpy gloop that no-one bothers to eat anyway so they never bother putting it on the plate. :rotfl:
    They probably didn't have any in- no moneysaving intended and had to rustle some up in the kitchen.

    This has to be a windup, surely no-one would even remember this by the time they got home let alone post a thread about it.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    Seriously not a wind up. This is a 'Vent' board so i wanted to have a vent. As i say, what wound me up was the lady saying 'your not supposed to read the small print' which infact was where it stated coleslaw included!

    Didnt wanna involve t.standards or anybody just needed a rant, and after it i felt alot better :)

    I think I would be annoyed too.

    It's the idea that sloppiness, and lack of attention to detail is not only OK, but it is seriously bad manners to point it out. That offends me greatly.

    A beligerent "don't split hairs" is sooo rude.
