She perhaps appreciates her privacy being respected and we (the general public) remain unphased at seeing her out and about around the town. How normal is that!

In common with other supporters of the cafe , Janet , Juliette and Chris (It's macaroni, Chris), spelling seems to be a problem! Hi Jane, I think Arron porbably means probably!

The title of the post is BAD SERVICE at Island cafe and relates to the response of the manager to the situation. The charm of the internet is free speech, if you don't like it, you're not obliged to read my blog! More people have read this post than any other item on this site.

Whether it was or not does not excuse the rudeness we encountered. It was on the blackboard, which we took to be the specials of the day, though wasn’t specifically described as homemade.

I also think it is appalling if artistes don't get paid. I assume the reference to not paying for meals ordered is in relation to my post entitled 'Bad service at Island Cafe', I'd hate you to be slurring the reputation of any venues associated with the Jazz Festival by raising it in relation to this item.

Or is it just a coincidence that you've come up with the same comment? Anyway, a hearty welcome to the blog, hope you both continue to visit cafes you like, I prefer mine with a little more humility. Working in the catering trade myself, I would certainly not be rude to a customer nor expect them to pay for food which they returned as being unsatisfactory. Incidentally, the food that was returned was not home made but straight from a tin, as confirmed by the waitress who brought it to the table. Looking forward to receiving one of your poems, Matt and Cat certainly enjoyed mine! p.s. A cultural note, use your spell-checker, the word is reasonable. Are you two twins or something?

I expect this is why you are happy to promote a Jazz Festival where the artists don't get paid. Why don't you start a website with advice for people who like to get away with not having to pay for anything?? That's something you would be very good at?
