Posh Food

OK it wasn't too posh after all, but fully booked on Friday. Something like that was an ideal location and menu she said. Argh.

I shall look at Mashton's place.

so phone them back and plead that you have a personally important impression you'd really love to make, and if there's any incentive or early/late service, seat by the door that they could possibly offer.. what have you got to lose?

plead, grovel, beg, ingratiate yourself, offer them a kidney (hers, not yours)
