Great opera, easy parking, terrible wine!
Grange Park Opera - Theatre in the Woods的点评
点评:Went to see Mazeppa. I'm a big admirer of these summer opera seasons and this one didn't disappoint, especially as I had four ex-pupils singing that night. Opera? Great! Parking? No bother! Especially good as I had driven 100 miles to get there. However, having paid £80 for the ticket and £20 for the programme I did feel the attempts to empty my pockets should perhaps ease off a bit. Cue the wine-waiter. I ordered a glass of House Rosé, £9. Okay . . . He then got out what I would describe as a small glass, 125 mls. And proceeded to fill it less than half-full. 'Don't you fill it for £9?' Says I. 'Would you like some more?'. 'Well, it says on the price list £9 for a glass, not half a glass'. 'Say when' said the wine waiter. Titters in the queue behind me. Now, I know I've got to pay, but don't, when you've got the punters there, attempt to charge them £9 for two mouthfuls of wine. It just leaves a nasty taste in the mouth, as indeed this did. It may have been 'house rosé' but it wasn't very good. Plenty better rosés in Majestic, get yourself down there and stop screwing the punters.
翻译:去看了马泽帕。我非常喜欢这些夏季歌剧季,这一次也没有让我失望,尤其是那天晚上有四位我以前的学生在唱歌。歌剧?太棒了!停车?不用麻烦!尤其因为我开了 100 英里才到那里。但是,我已经花了 80 英镑买了票,20 英镑看了节目,我觉得我应该少掏点钱。侍酒师来了。我点了一杯 House Rosé,9 英镑。好的。。。然后他拿出一个我认为是小杯的,125 毫升。然后倒了不到一半。“你们不是花 9 英镑就倒满吗?”我说。“还要一些吗?”。“嗯,价目表上写的是一杯 9 英镑,而不是半杯。”侍酒师说。我身后的队伍里传来窃笑声。我知道我得付钱,但既然有客人在,就别想着收他们9英镑两口酒的钱。那样只会让人不爽,就像这杯酒一样。虽然是自家酿的桃红葡萄酒,但品质确实不怎么样。Majestic 有很多更好的桃红葡萄酒,快去吧,别再坑客人了。
