    Restaurant leaky fridge damaged my bag. What to do?

    Saved up to buy a nice leather bag. I had lunch today in a Thai restaurant in Newtown. Had to put the bag on the floor - no room on table or extra chairs, then someone realised that the fridge (directly behind us) was leaking, and there was a large puddle on the floor. My one-month-old...

    Fake eyelashes?
