Jan or Feb Dog and Duck?

OK it's time to start plotting the next one.
Given that I'm now a responsible company Director (oh yeah that's so me!) I'll need to take the afternoon off for such antics.
Anyone got views on January or waiting until Feb?

Pedro I'm at The Square in Mayfair first weekend in March then at Claridges for afternoon T the next day. Might just pop in the D&D for a picture while I'm there xxx

Not entirely sure if that means you're there a weekday or just at the weekend.
I'll be up in town both the Friday 1st and Monday 4th if you fancy a pint/sherry.
Otherwise Yautcha in Broadwick street reputedly do very nice cakes!
If not I'll leave a drink behind the bar at the D&D for ya!

I know you shower down there like the Dog & Duck but we're trying like mad to get into the Fat Duck. As Nick is close by I've approached him for some advice but I wondered if anybody else knows a 'shortcut'

A mate of a mate of mine who's about 5'2" met Heston in the toilets at a wedding once. Shook his hand and offered him "fish fingers with sparklers" as a free inspirational idea.
Not sure it's going to get you in, but you could try ringing up and asking them to pass the message on to Heston B and see if it rekindles a memory to afford you VIP status.
Given your vertical challenged nature you may even get away with it!

Furthermore, are we not a similar height...or did I just dream that

We were similar height when we met at Hever. But if you remember you were wearing your platforms that day. I was amazed you could walk in them tbh. Practice makes perfect. Just look at Bernie Ecclestone.

Pete - I have a form to collect so name the date in January

Phil - do not get a Plat Amex it's a con at £400 per year. Get a BA Amex for the air miles. My biz partner is back Monday so will see what he can do

Nicks right on that. Get the BA Premium Amex card. Costs £150 a year.
In one year I've just got the companion voucher and sufficient Avios points to fly to Denver or the Maldives business class for two people (worth about £5k, setting aside very restricted flights). OK it costs about £1k in taxes etc but you can't complain at that.
