Another week, another argy bargy in the Bistro. It's become common place there and I wonder that the Bistro has any customers at all.
Between public arguments, the cleaning lady wiping under your feet while you eat, and natural disasters, that restaurant is doomed.
The first time around, it didn't even open because Peter got drunk and Leanne realised that it was too much temptation to open a bar with him.
The second time around it was destroyed by an explosion and a tram crashing through. Not really a good omen.
Nick opened it again and it's been a steady stream of disasters. He ran out of wine and had to steal back his stock from a dodgy dealer. He's had drunken women dancing on tables and shouting the odds. The aforementioned cleaning lady keeps sniping at the Maitre D'. The barmaid spikes the food with tabasco, food that the Mayor was served. The ensuing fight between Nick and David made the newspapers. Not the publicity he was hoping for.
One cook scammed Nick trying to make extra money for himself. Another cook used a recipe he was legally bequeathed causing the pub owner to threaten to sue them all. Most recently, Leanne's alcoholic ex-husband staggered in roaring drunk shouting the odds at Nick after getting into a physical fight with him at his son's birthday party the day before.
People are always screaming at each other, arguing and fighting. It's a wonder anyone can relax and have a quiet meal or drink under the arches!
