I use them
mainly because I know how much stuff is worth to me.

I wouldn't use one on a date because I'd be unlikely to go to a restaurant that issued vouchers.

Similarly, I wouldn't go to a restaurant that issued vouchers without using one because clearly their food isn't worth the full price.

Even if it were a voucher for a free bacon croissant with every course?

you clearly didn't read what I wrote earlier about not liking bacon with croissants

Nope.
I've been away, and I've been struck down unexpectedly by manflu. Give me a chance here.

Welcome back.
How was it? Was the proximity to the pub your downfall?

It was excellent. Prague is a lovely cityand I didn't actually get that plastered.
Saw plenty of sights, including the sex-toy museum (entertaining and unsettling in equal measure), enjoyed the pub with all its beery goodness. Then I'm back in work for about an hour before I start displaying symptoms of severe manflu.

Ooh, hope you feel better soon.
Our house is quite sickly at the moment. Luckily mine has passed and I've just reverted to being angry and snappy. Drink through it.

I've been in El Gaucho with vouchers
It's one of the best restaurants in Manchester ever, great meat, and impressive cocktails, very posh and very expensive. I'd be chuffed if someone took me there on a date.

The food wasn't worse because of the vouchers.

:-P
generally though, places that do vouchers are towards the lower end of the restaurant quality spectrum.

Mmmm...
You're probably right. This weren't vouchers, was a promotion for selected costumers sent by mail. It's like posh vouchers.

I haven't been there in eons. Next time Mark's up here, we are going, vouchers or not vouchers.
