MEADOWXI Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Truly the most First World of First World lawsuits, http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41669611 Sunwing flyer sues because he got sparkling wine not champagne 18 October 2017 From the section US & Canada Share this with Facebook Share this with Twitter Share this with Messenger Share this with Email Share Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Champagne or sparkling wine? A Canadian man has filed a lawsuit against Sunwing Airlines for promising a champagne service and instead serving sparkling wine. Daniel Macduff booked a holiday to Cuba through Sunwing that advertised a complimentary on-board champagne toast. Mr Macduff, from Quebec, said he received a cheaper bubbly instead - and only on the outgoing flight. The airline said it believes the lawsuit "to be frivolous and without merit". Mr Macduff's lawyer says the class action hinges on misleading marketing and not the quality of the wine served. "It's not about the pettiness of champagne versus sparkling wine," said Montreal-based lawyer Sébastien Paquette. "It's the consumer message behind it." Mr Paquette said references to real champagne - a sparkling wine variety made specifically in the Champagne region in France - was front and centre in Sunwing's marketing materials. Why women are picking prosecco over champagne Theresa May 'quit' stories blamed on 'warm prosecco' In an emailed statement, Sunwing said the terms "champagne vacations" and "champagne service" were used "to denote a level of service in reference to the entire hospitality package" and not to describe the in-flight beverages. Image copyright Mark King/Sunwing Airlines The airline says it still offers sparkling wine to all its passengers on flights to southern vacation destinations, but are no longer referencing "champagne service" in active marketing campaigns. Online information now clarifies that passengers receive sparkling wine. The class action has yet to be certified by the courts, but seeks compensation for the monetary difference between the actual wine served and a glass of champagne as well as punitive damages. Mr Paquette said about 1,600 other plaintiffs have come forward in Quebec to join the lawsuit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Yesterday I was too hungover to really drink properly so a couple bottles of Miller, a glass of prosecco and a couple of glasses fancy baileys type stuff (coole swan) sufficed. Today I’m willing for a proper bevy but still having to make do with bottles of Miller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one should have to settle for drinking Miller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-42632024 A handy way to keep coconut water fresh. Also coconut water is utterly disgusting and anyone that drinks it is an arsehole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coconut water was tremendous but one didnt quench my thirst that day. I was seething at having to pay another 10 rupees (approx 8p) for another one at the time. It doesn't surprise me one iota that you like coconuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 My system at work was updated recently and this now always happens. The green bar never gets to the end. I feel like I should be earning a footballers wage for putting up with this so gallantly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Getting paid stupid money to sit and watch people work whilst browsing the net and/or watching football on your phone and silently telling yourself how hard your life is. Actually feel better for having just written this out. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
