  • Dubious translation!

    Posted by Dan Osterbery on 21 May 2012 at 17:13

    The bar in question asked us for a quote for printing some new menus, which we quoted, the owner was not happy with our quote, he thought the print prices were fine but did not want to pay 25€ translation charge.

    He really grumbled and got quite aggressive about how we thought we could charge for translation, I explained it takes time and time is money blah blah, and eventually had enough, and walked away.

    imagine how i laughed inside when i stopped to buy a bottle of water the other day and saw he had the menus printed elsewhere, any takers for number 86?
    the menu is riddled with mistakes, but none as amusing as that, i had to sneak a photo!

    That’s because they all think they are just buying sticky back plastic mate and don’t want to pay for any expert to produce perfection with years of experience going into every job! 😉

    Dan you should make a few tees up with the menu on the front and your menu design on the back and organise a night out at this bar 😉
