						We didn't have mobile garden furniture in my day. We sat on old boxes that my Dad borrowed from the local grocers.

						Boxes? You had boxes? You lucky lucky bast@rd! Don't you talk to me about boxes! When I were a lad, we had to sit on broken glass and rusty nails, wearing nowt but hand me down shorts. We used to dream of having a box.

						 I'd heard of the London Tax, but that's ridiculous. Unless you're feeding about 450 people.

						Why is it riduculous? 12% is pretty reasonable and the staff earnt it. I would be disgusted if was anything less. A lot of places add service charges as standard in London.

						I've certainly seen places (outside London as well) adding service charge for large groups (say 10+). I hope to hell that bill was for more than 10 people
