Because one of our party hadn't chucked any money in. He'd been sitting there hoping that the tip money would cover the cost of his meal!

Crommers, that's dreadful

do either Pieter and Antonia have an issue with them as well or do they just put up and not say anything?

They just seem to put up with them. Pieter because he's also Dutch and Antonia, because Ina sorted her new web pages out. They've not been invited to anything for a long time, not when we've been there, anyway.

Just had the price for the T bar and railings.

800€ for the railings

and 30€ for the T bar.

As we'd already told him that Joao Luis makes the T bars for 20€, he's either stupid, deaf or just plain greedy.

We'll be asking Joao Luis for a price next week.
