Allowing for different VAT rates, there's an 85 euro difference. Still a big difference, just not not quite as much....
According to XE today 299 sterling equates to 367 euro. Thats 113 euro difference.
Just thought I would let you all know
I was at an 'invite only' shopping night at a well known dept store and was buying some household products, already marked half price, the invite allowed me another 20% discount (I assumed), the snotty sales assistant wouldn't scan the card, as she said I shouldn't expect another discount. I very nicely suggested that I had assumed that as the T&Cs didn't mention anything about sales items not being covered we could have a manager come and decide! She looked me up and down and said, 'who gives discounts on discounts?', to which I replied any store in a sale. I got the discount, but the attitude p-ed me off!
Macys honoured the discount on final sales stuff for me (ie 75-85% off), and i also got the additional 11% one on top of that, that was both in Florida and NY macys.
I would have assumed that unless you answered "tap" you would automatically get bottled.I was in a well known Dublin City Centre restaurant for lunch yesterday. We sat down and the waitress asked us the usual question of 'still or sparkling'. We both answered still.

I was in a well known Dublin City Centre restaurant for lunch yesterday. We sat down and the waitress asked us the usual question of 'still or sparkling'. We both answered still. She came over with two glasses of water with pieces of lemon in them. There was no sign of a bottle so presumed it was just tap water which was fine so didn't give it a second thought. Had the meal (awful by the way) and asked for the bill. I looked at it and noticed that I was being charged €5 for the water. I asked the waitress if it wasn't tap water, why wasn't the water served to us in a bottle and she said they don't do that but that she wouldn't charge us for it. When she said that I got even more suspicious so asked to speak to the manager. I asked him how do I know I am getting what I paid for if they don't serve the bottle and that what they gave me wasn't just tap water. I had never seen it in any restaurant that I have been in. The snotty little git went over and brought back the bottle where he says the water came from. It was a 1ltr bottle of Tipperary water. They don't serve small bottles but still had the cheek to charge €2.50 a glass. I reckon they fill the bottle out of the tap as well! I haven't been that annoyed in a long time and he still insisted on charging me so I paid after making a scene.
If you knew that you were getting still bottled water then why didn't you check the price list before ordering it?I know but I would also have assumed that if I am being served bottled water, I get the bottle brought to my table. I have never seen a restaurant do otherwise. But there was no bottle to bring to the table bacause they poured two glasses out from a 1 litre bottle of water. And yet they still charged me €2.50 per glass for it. They were small glasses as well.
I thought that terms like "fresh" and "pure" etc. were meaningless when it comes to labelling food products?was in a well know chain of juice bars recently and despite their menu clearly stating 'fresh orange juice' the girl behind the counter poured Tropicana into a container for me and tried to charge 4.25 for the pleasure!!!!
