Man called 'selfish' after refusing to pay restaurant food bill for 17 people

A recent university graduate who secured himself a job claims his family on his mother's side invited him out for a double celebration - only to ambush him with the bill after when they were finished eaten.

The restaurant they'd chosen was "pretty expensive", but the young man had agreed to go regardless, oblivious of their intentions, and ended up "having a pretty good time." But the fun stopped once the bill arrived.

He said he was fully prepared to pay for himself and his elderly grandfather, but hadn't realised his relatives expected him to cover the entire bill for 17 people, a sum he says was in the thousands.
