Ye Olde Phong's Head Cantina and Bierkeller - The rebirth

[Growltigger]

Revenge is getting better!!

I have just one a small spat I was having against our local dairy.

I am a member of a charoty organisation and we recently held a beer festival in our town. As part of the promotional aspects, I organised with the local dairy to deliver flyers for the beerfest ie the milkmen would deliver a flyer to every house in town they drop milk too.

Good idea? I thought so and happily negotiated a £100 fee with the dairy for this service.

Result, only about 200 of 5,500 leaflets gots delivered. Most of the milkmen either forgot or threw the leaflet en masse into the B1N.

So, luckily, the beerfest went well (Great sponsorship from some brewers did it).

But, I had to recourse to the dairy and say, I want £85 back plus a contribution to the £100 cost of printing the leaflets as we couldn't arrange for alternative deliveries cos the bloody milkmen had disposed of the flyer.

It has taken 2 weeks of increasingly vitriolic correspondence, but the threat to highlight the story in the local press has resulted in a cheque for £200 from the dairy, but to be fair, as they delivere 200 flyers, I am spending them a cheque for £7.20 as recompense for that...

Bastards!, the world is full of bastards.

And on a nicer note, I gave a chap a lift to the garage on Saturday when I passed him on the road when he was broken down. He was very grateful, and I didnt think anything further of it until he turned up my house on Sunday with a rather nice bottle of wine for me, and a cheque for £100 towards our minibus fund.

He said he felt that was the cost of a roadside recovery, shouldn't benefit from my kindness and wanted to donate the money to a good cause.

There is SOME DECENCY left on this planet, not much, you have to dig deep to find it but it is there.
