Restaurant Reviews by Judith Back to top
***** Ocean Basket, Morningview Shopping Centre, 10 South Road
This is becoming one of our favourite restaurants because of the friendly service and great food! This night our waitress was Charity and she was great. We started with hot chocolate and Boschendaal Blanc de Blanc, which is served by the carafe. Food of choice was the OB fish and the Mediterranean Seafood Soup. Both were excellent. I really love the Seafood Soup as it has all my favourites in it!
The place was warm on a really cold night and the number of customers told us that they have a lot of returnees, not just us! Recommended for being child friendly as well

**** BBQ Workshop, Rivonia Village
A new experience and we shared the chicken Souvlakia! However, if you don't like it with chilli, which my partner didn't, please ask them to omit it! I enjoy chilli so it wasn't a problem. The hot ones were replaced without a problem. Drinks were hot chocolate and Robertson Sauvignon Blanc.
This a child friendly restaurant and Noliva's attention was great.

Seriously though, which PR firm will Bell Pottinger now employ to improve its

Household Tips from Mary at Everyday Cheapskate (www.everydaycheapskate.com)
“I don’t do math—numbers give me a rash.” That’s a line I’ve used a lot, mostly because it’s true, but also because it gets me a laugh.
Truth be told, most of us stink when it comes to doing the math on the fly. That’s a problem because being hopeless with math makes us putty in the hands of retailers. Here are three ways that our aversion to math costs us money:
The number 9. Amazingly, 65 percent of all retail prices end in the number 9. Unconsciously, we’re charmed into believing the item is a bargain. Whenever you see a product priced at $29.99 or $9.99, the retailer is attempting to “charm” your brain by marking prices just below a round number. Because our brains are trained to read from left to right, the first digit is the one that sticks in our head and the number we use to decide if the “price is right”.
Price ignorance. William Poundstone tells the story of the retailer Williams-Sonoma and a $279 bread maker. Sales were lagging so they placed a nearly identical machine next to the $279 bread maker with a price tag of $429. Immediately, sales doubled on the $279 model!
Intentional confusion. It’s a trick retailers use all the time: A confused customer is more likely to opt for the higher price deal. An item marked 5/$4 prompts us to buy five items for $4, not 1 item for $.80, because it’s too confusing. Which is the better deal: 33 percent off the regular price or 33 percent more product for the same price? .
