Is 'falsh' a pervy new entry in the Urban Dictionary?

No, just the result of a half-lit redneck trying to type.

I accept that this is stretching the definition of 'weird' somewhat, but I think it is worth including here.

'Free meal' garage customer's £700 bill at top London restaurant.

Name:  £700..JPG
Views: 215
Size:  23.9 KB

A woman who was offered a free meal by an Audi garage which damaged her car ran up a £700 bill at a celebrated Michelin-starred London restaurant.

Siobhan Yap, 27, from Hertfordshire, treated her mother to dinner after her Audi A3 convertible was hit while parked on Watford Audi's forecourt.

Watford Audi agreed to pay for a meal for two, so Ms Yap headed to L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in Covent Garden.

Watford Audi said the £714.61 bill was "excessive", and offered to pay half.

In response, Ms Yap said that Audi should have "specified a price limit".

The garage repaired Ms Yap's car - which she had bought second-hand for £20,000 - after it was damaged by a delivery vehicle before she could pick it up from the forecourt.

Audi gave her a courtesy car and offered to cover the cost of a meal for two "for the inconvenience caused".

While at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Ms Yap and her mother enjoyed four glasses of champagne, two bottles of wine costing £69 each, six cocktails totalling £86 and a sloe gin.

The "small tasting dishes" they tried included one La Truffe Noire at £35, two St Jacques scallop dishes costing £29 each and two La Volatille risottos totalling £42.

Ms Yap told the JVS show on BBC Three Counties Radio that Audi should pay the whole bill because she had to send the car back for further repairs, and the cost was "relative to what they put me through and their customer service levels".

"They put me through a lot of stress and it was a really nice restaurant," Ms Yap said. "They should have specified a limit."

A Watford Audi spokesman said it was "excessive expenditure for two diners", but as it was "keen to make amends for the incident" it agreed to cover half the bill, equating to £357.

"We believe this is a fair and reasonable amount given the circumstances, and we stand by the decision taken," said the spokesman.

Etiquette expert William Hanson said the garage should have set an upper limit and should "learn a lesson" and "absorb the cost". But he said that "you don't need to perhaps drink that much if someone else is paying".
This is quite breathtaking. How anybody has the nerve to push their luck quite this far is beyond me. £714 for lunch? That's getting on for $1100 (US).
Think how far that would get you at Tesco or Walmart when you do your food shopping.

The Audi dealership has no good option here. To my eyes, just paying the $1100 to make this woman go the hell away is the least bad option. I'm sorry her car was hurt, though it's not clear the Audi dealership is responsible there, what about the driver of the delivery truck? Anyhow, the dealership has the most to lose, and if it "only" costs $1100 to lose this woman, (shakes head), I say pay the nice lady.
