Are you deluded? What time do you have your tea at your house?
OK, supper. I could have been talked into a curry though.

There was no 'copping off' and any flirtation that might be suggested or alluded to was entirely commensurate with and appropriate to this particular set of social circumstances.

I always ask that question. Pathetic huh?

I will try to go to the next thing - the last couple have all coincided with something else. Yesterday sounds pretty hardcore I must say - I hope you are all feeling fairly frisky today.

I can't believe 9 people spent £71. 59 on food, where did it all go?

That is staggering number. 27 courses for £71.59 which is £2.65 a course unbelievable value.

Unbelievable value and excellent quality as well. The spaghetti with crab meat starter was delicious and the fish main course was superb. Yum!

A quick calculation makes that roughly 2.5 bottles each, for those mainly partaking in the wine. :oops: My head hurts thinking about it, nothing to do with the wine or course.... :wink:

POP is fine, we just bumped into him in the High Street. He decided against going to First and Last and went home instead.

Glad you enjoyed.

Am I right?
21% of the bill was for FOOD?

Correct. We always stick to the 21/79 rule. If one started restricting the food to say only 15% of the bill we could damage the good name of POL .
