Mixed Grill + Scourer
Im sat in a small cafe in Eldon Square (newcastle) with the missus to be, and order a mized grill. Plate comes, it all looks very tasty. Bit steak, some chicken, bacon, some sausages.... bit egg n that. Very nice I think to myself and tuck in.

Im saving the best bits for last so I've got some steak, egg and bacon lined up when I get a very unpleasant grinding sensation between my molars... I fish inside my mouth and find a small wiry piece of metal.

I'm gutted, I had been really really enjoying this and now I was going to have to tell the young girl behind the counter. The staff are mortified, and soon the chef comes to tell me he'd been cleaning the grill not long before and some of the scourer must have broken off. They offer to give me it half price and I happily accept.

Im later advised I shouldnt have had to pay but then I did eat *almost a full plate of meat and chips... thought half price was fair enough, at least it showed they cleaned up behind the scenes.



Another time I was at a fairly posh place down by the Quayside when my missus had a HUGE earwig in her strawberries and ice cream desert.... pretty much put me off mine too. They refunded us the the deserts, claiming the strawberries were "very fresh but had been washed". Yeah, so had that manky fucking earwig but we werent going to eat it....!
