Reading Tripadvisor reports where the eaterie in question posts a standard reply:

Report: Terrible food and slow, surly service, worst restaurant in the whole region. Avoid this place at all costs

Response: "Thank you to Mr/Mrs XYX."

An 'estimated 500 million' apparently

Picking my kid up from junior school and i was chatting to a new parent who i'd not really talked to before and they were talking about facebook / twitter. My kid comes up, hears the conversation and butts in telling the lady i was speaking to that "dad says people on there are all nazis".

I swiftly cleared up the misunderstanding.
