Crap meals outI'd chosen to take my in-laws to one of my favourite restaurants, only to discover it had changed hands the week before. We waited half an hour to get menus. The waitress broke the cork in the wine we ordered. She got our order wrong. The food was luke-warm, mine was overcooked, the rest was undercooked. After waiting another 40 minutes for the last course, we were told that we couldn't have any as the chef had "forgotten to de-frost the puddings".
Let's just say they didn't get a tip. Tell us of your crap meals out.

The Bayswater BreakfastSome years ago me and my (then) boyfriend took a trip to London. It was between Christmas and New Year and we had trouble finding somewhere to stay, and wound up at an absolute shit pit in Bayswater. Our room was vile beyond description. We thought it wouldn't get any worse....
The "dining room" was what most folk would describe as the cellar. It was almost pitch black, illuminated by a couple of weak light bulbs. It was fucking freezing. The waitress was wearing a big coat, hat, scarf and gloves. In very broken English she asked if we wanted a full English or Continental breakfast. Being patriots we opted for the full English, and after a long cold wait the waitress returned with a floral side plate (for boyf) and a kids Mickey Mouse plate for me. Our full English was one rather small rasher of bacon and one egg, which although it may of once been in the same room as a frying pan, they had never been formally introduced. Her gloved thumbs were holding the bacon onto the plates.
We decided to leave the salmonella behind us and went to McD's....which was crap but at least it was cooked.
