\"\"<\/a>The Sour Service Award<\/strong>\u00a0 goes to the Grand Caf\u00e9 and Beach on Granger Bay, for its misleading invitation sent via the French South African Chamber of Commerce to what appears to be the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise mailing list, to attend the La F\u00eate de la Musique at The Grand on Tuesday.\u00a0\u00a0On arrival, there appeared to be no host, and the manager seemed surprised when I mentioned the invitation. He said it meant that entrance to the music evening was free, and that\u00a0one could sit down, and eat and drink at one’s own expense!\u00a0 No one from the Chamber or from The Grand welcomed the guests, despite the invitation ending: “We will be delighted to meet you there and celebrate together and with the world this very special event” <\/em>. To add insult to injury, one had to pay for the parking, which was not indicated on arrival.<\/p>\n
