Mr who has recently returned to Wanganui after a lengthy trip, in conversation with a Herald reportei, said he was amused to note at some of the refreshment rooms in England that they offered as many oysters or sandwiches as a customer could eat for one shilling. In regard to the oysters, except he was very hungry, one was not likely to eat more than the shilling’s worth. The customer gets nlnepence worth to start with, and having disposed of! the plate full, he is asked if he would care for some more. On intimating that he would, he is brought one or two huge oysters, and to try and swallow one would dhoke any ordinary man. To cut an oyster and then set put to eat! it is most uninviting, and this is where the customer jibs, and where the proprietors make their profit.
