I’ve been roaming around doing all sorts of publicity work
for the sixth edition of the A to Z of almost Everything and found myself in
Sutton, south London this week.
After a meeting with the manager of the local Waterstones I walked back to my hotel room in the rain so
decided to have a shower and eat in my room. I ordered battered hake and chips
with mushy peas, an ice cream dessert and a bottle of champagne. An hour later
I received a phone call from the manager advising me that the chef had sold all
the hake so would I like to order something else from the menu. I decided on
the Cajun chicken. I wasn’t in the least put out by this but when the young
lady brought the order to my room she informed me the whole meal was
compliments of the management.
Chapeau!
