I can't recall, it was in the national press at the time and they made a sizable charity donation to make up for it. I recall reading it in print so it must have been well over 15 years ago.
In other news... re dining out. I went to a chain restaurant on Sunday when a huge tourist event was in town (tens of thousands of visitors) and the restaurant and nearby pubs were very quiet.
I went to a different chain restaurant on the first Saturday of the August and it was about one quarter full.
Re inflation, A colleague mentioned an online post on a forum she uses where someone found a receipt from a German supermarket over here. Last year the receipt for 5 or so items was about £5 and now the same items were about £7. The inflation rate was about 40%. The items were staples and was an example of how inflation can sometimes disproportionately impact those that can least afford it.
