279 miles North of the river to be precise (for me). It takes me 7 hours to drive into the capital shitty. I can get to Cyprus in 7hrs, eat two bagels on route to the airport (one cream cheese, one salmon), stop off for some shopping at the Trafford Centre and still have change for a bag of chips.

Women are most certainly welcome , Old birds definitely not , bad for the image honey .

Central London would be OK , any suggestions ?


Well you are the oldest bird on the block ... so hand the organisation over to some cool young dude! 8)

Can we prepare some promotional material like those Turkish "Embargoed" diners did? We can call ourselves "Inebriated" :D

Men mature the older they get , now you know the rest.

Beotys Restaurant reviews , having eaten there I can vouch for the below review !!

""""Awful! Cannot understand positive reviews.

Had no idea about the place. Did not mind that it had seen better days.

It was the food...which was hideous and hideously overpriced. Anaemic olives, dolmas that looked the aftermath of a bad vindaloo the night before. Tzatziki on a plate slopping over the sides, stale bread...

Bless the waitressing staff as they were very professional but the 'manager' hovered about us staring continuously.

When the final bill came it had increased 'mysteriously' and was not disaggregated - they were extremely rude when I chased this up ""

I'm telling you guys , London has NO decent Greek restaurants !

Greek restaurants unfortunately are notorious for serving left overs.
Guys I have been involved with the catering trade for over 40 years .
We do not have in London decent Greek restaurants . Full stop !!

I dined with Lena , remember Lena, at the Conrad , now called Wyndham Chelsea Harbour , for a fabulous meal .
My all time favourite eatery is the top room at Hilton Park Lane , now called Galvin at Windows.
In the old days I used to have Sunday lunch for £49.99 with unlimited Champagne !! The bouffet was excellent with a choice of Roasts.
However I think it would be nice to meet at a Cypriot venue .






One of the best restaurants in London is undoudebtly Capadocia , situated in South London , and
