A local mum has been left fuming after she was asked to split the cost of Chinese takeaway.
The parent, who was enjoying a meal with her friends, felt she should not have been asked to contribute as much as others when it came to the £92 bill.
She said she left her pal's house feeling "really uncomfortable" after she was asked to equally split the cost of a whopping cost - despite not eating half the meal.

Taking her concerns to popular forum site Mumsnet, the anonymous mum was admittedly "speechless" that she was fronted with a cost, reports the Mirror.
She explained: "I visited my friend's home recently with my 12-year-old and she has three kids herself and lives in a very nice large home (just for information).
"I took some gifts for them then early evening she said there was a great Chinese nearby and should we order a takeaway?
"Great idea - I ordered a few dishes for me and my daughter and she ordered five dishes for her and her three children.
"She then said that’s £92 and just give her £45," she added.
She continued: "I was speechless as we were guests in her home and she invited us for dinner and I was scrambling through my purse as I had my cards on me and only just had enough cash to give her.
"I would never do that to a guest in my home and I felt really uncomfortable afterwards.
"Just wondered what you think as it's been bugging me," she pleaded for advice.
Whilst the mum admitted that she would "never" ask a guest in her home to split the bill, fellow Mumsnet users were quick to disagree.
Since sharing the thread online, people fled to the comment section to admit that they would "expect to pay" towards the cost of food - no matter if it was at a restaurant or at home.
"I would have added up the amount for the dishes I had ordered and paid that," one user said.
Another added: "I'd expect to pay towards a takeaway in friend's house."
"I would expect to split a takeaway, just as I would a meal in a restaurant," a third agreed.
A fourth added: "I'd pay for what I ordered and towards a delivery charge/tip."
