It is now considered politically incorrect even if the chap is a colonial!

Before we know it they'll be upsetting a chap's table and chucking one's Pimm's and lemmonade all over the show.

Was it top shelf? If so then, yes, it was justified.

Shouldn't think so. An inadvisable move - the repercussions would be awful.

It is dependent on the waiters race.

One would hope you have not been dinning at foreign Establishments

Konk him on the head rather smartly with your shoe. Raise a great fuss and in the ensuing fracas voice loud demands that he be sacked at once. Be merciless. ;o)

Political correctness only effects the lower classes - don't worry old boy, thrash away - tell them it is an educational thrashing so that they know not to spill your G&T again!

Cheerio...

thats called GBH . no matter how angry you feel maybe the waiter was having a bad day to. Take a step back and relax x

It is ok only if the waiter is of the same s*x as you and doesn't wear glasses.

No, one should get one's buttler to do it so as not to make a scene!

Probably not legal, but it needs to be done! Way too much political correctness has ruined this once great nation, where the lower orders knew their place.

Think it has been for some time now, no one respects their betters any more. Far to many working upstarts no longer know their place. As for being PC, really depends on one's taste, personally if it's got ice in it I think incorrect. But then again one's got to draw the line somewhere, what? No ice and it's perfectly resonable to my mind.
