OP, I think you would enjoy the cheap evening out 
I however would ask for a correct bill as theres nothing more embarrassing then being stopped on the way out to cough up another £15 or so as you've not paid for drinks. It might be their fault for not including them on the bill but its also your own for not questioning their mistake in favour of personal gain.

Wouldn't say a thing. Not my fault/problem. Hire better staff.

Point out the error, usually, or just leave a larger tip to cover it. Unless the place was dire, in which case I'd just pocket the difference.
I wouldn't notice, in the same way I wouldn't notice if I'd been overcharged. Maybe I should start checking :s.
Do what the loudmouth ladies do. Stand at till points after their sale has been processed and check every receipt and item price. Usually causing havoc and demanding refunds if something is a mere pence over the indicated price or if they've stupidly misread a two for one offer!

Well said, you don't know who is telling fibs and who is telling the truth. I would own up and be honest.... or would I?
When I was in Madrid last summer for work, few of us went out to a bar for some Sangria...had about 2 pitchers worth...but when the bill came they only charged us for 2 glasses instead...didn't say anything and just paid the cheaper bill. 
Also very close by to the bar, on the same road in fact, I went into a supermarket, and paid for some items with a 10 euro note. I received the change back, which I was expecting to be a 5 euro note and a few coins. In all honestly I didn't even check the change until I was already walking back to the hotel...had €45+ in my pocket lol.. the guy must have thought I gave him a €50 note...
While normally I would give it back, eg last week I bought a flapjack in a corner shop and was given 50p extra change, I went back and returned it, I was abroad and figured I would never be in this same area again for a loooong while! Also paid for my Real Madrid match ticket

This, but feeling slightly guilty I would tip more.

Break down into tears and throw a hissy-fit.

It's funny because I tend to pick and choose with honesty like this.
In McDonald's if I get too much change screw em.
In my local pub or shop I would tell them, especially the local shop as he always lets 5p slide to save me breaking a note and clearing him out of change

Went out for a meal last year with about 8 of us and they missed all the desserts and a few drinks off the bill. We paid and left as quickly as possible
