It's always weird how the bill is always more than £100 when the actual restaurant they film it in has a reasonably (for Central London) priced menu: http://www.paternosterchophouse.co.uk/menus/restaurant/

 

I can only assume they jack the prices up when they film the show because they know hardly anyone's going to quibble over the bill and risk looking a cheapskate.

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought they jack up the bill. I've only ever stuck the show on as background viewing, but I would imagine there's always plenty of drinks flowing anyway, what with it being a blind date that's being televised and that's where the rest of the bill is coming from.

Is it weird though?

 

If you order from that al a carte menu (and why wouldn't you on date night, especially a first one) then you're looking at £20-£25 for a main, £10 for bread and a starter, £7 for a dessert, and a couple of shared sides (say 3 so £6 each) and probably £4 or £5 for a coffee.  That's £40-£50 each before drinks.  Their cheapest wine is £21 a bottle, but it's first date so you always go for the second cheapest at £32 and that's more or less your £130.  It's easy to run up bills in these places. 

 

The set menu is a reasonable price but no-one wants to look like a pikey on TV.

I refer the honorable gentleman to the cases of UKFF v UK Kat Von Dee and the many articles on Rich Freebird (ukff passum)

What's the phrase you use that says I'm in the mood for An adventure. Like I'm feeling(....) . Bugging me something awful that I can't put my tongue on it

Anybody know any reliable Irish proxy servers, ideally free? I'm trying to watch geo-locked content on RTE Player but the Hola Unblocker plugin isn't getting around it. And I'm not having any luck finding proxies, presumably because there's not much call for RTE Player location-cheating.
