Crap meals out
I'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.

Not a crap meal..
Not sure if I have posted this, but can't find it, so..
In Greenwich (again), a group of us went to the local thai food restaurant.
Very good food and drink, served promptly by the waiter. The background music was OK (bit irritating, but what the hey). At least it wasn't as bad as another restaurant we went to, where, ironically, the Background music was Mel C's "Never be the same again" played repeatedly.
So, we all sat there, having a laugh, and finished our meals. All of a sudden, the background music went a bit wobbly (like a tape that had warped). 30 seconds later, the fire alarm went off and the waiter evacuated us all. As it happens, the HiFi playing the background music had caught fire and set fire to the kitchen.
So, we did what any decent blokes would do, and scarpered without paying. Apart from one guy who insisted (briefly at least) that he would stay and pay for the meal.
