Good evening all.

Lynn, we once had the same problem. We were on the verge of literally ripping out one of the base units. Emptied said cupboard and found it was a tin of dog food where the top (ring pull type) was leaking. I've never smelled anything so bad in my life.

We've got a bit of a tricky situation come up. Went to our regular cafe this morning and one of the staff seems to have taken a serious dislike to my son. It started with him moving the table. They have the tables set sort of diagonally and he squared it up. Many do it as it puts the back of the table in the shade. She had a go at my son, then pulled my hubby about it (he was in the queue). Didn't think too much about it, but then she came out as we were eating and told my son to move his chair in as he was blocking the aisle. Not only was there plenty of room, but the table next to ours had prams blocking the aisle and the chairs pulled out further than our sons.

Hubby almost lost it. Told her that he was about to lose his temper so could she please p*** off.

We've used this cafe every morning for the last 7 years. We know this particular girl has a downer on my son. No reason for it. Of course, it upset my lad so the rest of our walk was taken up by calming him down. Fortunately, he didn't fit. We were worried he would as he was very upset.

We will have a word with one of the other staff tomorrow, but if it happens again, we will have to look for another cafe as it was totally unacceptable. I hate to play the discrimination card, but that is what it was. There is no other explanation for it
