Restaurant service
I guess it must be something they teach you at restaurant school.
No matter how attentive the service when you arrive, when you order and the bringing out your food, and then asking you 5 times while you're eating you food if it's any good. By the time you've finished and just want to pay and leave, you will *always* be ignored for ages and ages!
Now when I'm by myself I usually just get up and go and stand by the cash desk, they can't ignore you there, although they give it a good try sometimes.. Whereas my wife doesn't like to cause a fuss so invariably we end up sitting for 20 minutes trying to catch someones eye so we can pay them!Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Ask for the check while they are still paying attention to you. If you order anything else, they can amend the check. Tell the wait staff up front that the speedy presentation of the check will have a positive impact on any tip you leave. Get up, go to the cash register and tell them what you ordered but you can't get anyone to bring you the check. Pay the bill, leave no tip and don't go back. Leave and you and the nice policeman can chat about the weather while they bring your change back out to the parking lot.
If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a 'shakedown' of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. I don't know if its because the 2nd Yaris hasn't arrived yet at...
British & Irish Championships...
