Went in a cafe of the wrong class today. [sad face]

There were 2 cafes near each other. I picked the wrong one. I'm lower middle class and the cafe was for middle middle class to about lower upper class. I should have guessed by the little accent they put over the 'e' in the name.

I went in and up to the counter and asked for a sausage roll and a hot chocolate and they didn't give it to me. I was told to go sit at a table. My sausage roll came served on a plate with salad which, and you might not believe this, somebody had drizzled on! I'm guessing it was basil oil or some such frippery, although the cafe with an accent was next to a boating lake the same colour.

I should have gone to the other one where I'm sure I could have just taken the sausage roll in a bag or on a paper plate without being drizzled at. Sad

It's hard being English.

Oh you poor thing. I had a very similar experience and it was humiliating.

I asked for a cup of tea, the conversation went thus:

Waitress "China?"

Me: "I don't mind, a mug would do"

Waitress "No, I meant is Chinese tea alright"

This was 10 years ago and it still haunts me. Sad

Is this a joke? A reverse?

Where there marshmellows and/or cream in the hot chocolate?

I feel this is an important point.

Surely hot tubs are only for swingers? Hot tubs are the new pampas grass apparently Shock

Did they not have a hot tub?
