I won't name names, just yet, as there might be a better section of the forum, to further advertise my outrage.

I was in a hurry to attend the presentation, so quickly changed into the shirt, without checking the quality of what I'd ordered from them.

Imagine my shame and horror, after enduring the titters whilst the press took photographs of the presentation, when it was revealed what was emblazoned on my chest.

Not, as I wanted, 'Simply the Best', but...

'Simple Beast'!

I'll never, ever darken their doors again.

:mad:

Your's ever so faithfully,

Immediately told the landlady/manageress, but without much hope. This used to happen to me regularly in the Pickwick back in the day ;) and the attitude from the bar staff was usually a shrug of the shoulders and a “what do you expect me to do about it?” approach.

However, I was pleasantly surprised when this redoubtable lady marched outside to the drinkers sitting at the tables, collared the miscreant, berated him loudly and extracted payment from him, before returning to the bar, pulling me a fresh pint and apologising profusely.

Now that’s what I call service! :drink:

His cologne clung to me and I could smell it all afternoon....it was delightful.
