Both my parents (mainly Mum)I recently visited my parents and took them out to lunch. Now, with them knowing full well that they wouldn't be paying, they picked the cheapest place they could.
Now, it's not that I think you should turn your nose up at a bargain and as it happened, lunch was quite nice. It's just that I know for a fact that they had actively looked for the least expensive place to eat and spent many days thinking about it.
It's something when after paying for a meal for 4, you get change from £20.
