Intolerable slowness of service

To celebrate the release of our new product, company invited us for a curry last night. We always seem to go this one particular curry house in Newbury, Nawab. Usually it's because they have a banquet night on Wednesdays when food is quite cheap, this time I guess it was just because we always go there. I don't really know why we do, as the food is not particulary good (it's ok, just nothing special), the service is pretty appalling and we suspect that they sometimes put some extra on the bill.

This time we had to wait around an hour before they came to take our order, and another hour for food. By that time I was already half asleep, so I just ate quickly and started driving home after ten. It might not seem too late for some people, but I'm usually in bed by ten - so at that time driving an hour in the dark was really difficult. I was quite painfully aware that I wasn't really in a safe condition to drive, but I had to get home.

This morning we promised once again that next time we wouldn't go to Nawab. We'll see.
