their room service is incredible "Wife on hubby's lap, perhaps?" seems rather sexist "Tag-team dining?" that's more like it

"Can you please comment on the wine list in terms of selection and price?" On the basis of a visit this February, selection is astounding and so are the prices.

why aren't they called "browntails"?

only eaten once at pourcels (2003) - thought it the least impressive 3 star we've eaten at anywhere. have eaten many times at marcon (since 1989) and the most recent (four nights in 2003) was the best yet. worth 3 stars? at least, "very nearly".

long shot, but try regis marcon in st bonnet le froid. just got his third star, so you may find that there's a queue. both he and his second have won the bocuse and there are three bonuses: 1. it's one of the most beautiful parts of france that we have ever visited 2. he speaks very good english (worked here way back) 3. he's a very nice man

Oh Tony, I feel your pain. These people would be happy with soggy egg salad sandwiches. They probably have never known any different. If you do manage to bring them to Le Gavroche please put me down for a ticket. I'd love to watch. ← "Oh Tony, I feel your pain." Absolutely darling, I do so agree - they probably keep coal in the bath! I do hope that they're suitably grateful for the civilising influence that they're about to be exposed to.

another oxymoron
