What's compelled you to complain? Do you go in for table-thumping or seethe in silence then hit them with a dish best served cold?Giles Coren discovered yesterday that a fancy-pants restaurant had mistakenly charged him twice. History may never fully reveal what the critic said when he rang to complain, but a luckless underling reportedly suggested he 'calm down'. Knowing what we do, we can only
