So what have you done today..?

Surprise surprise I’m out to a concert, but something a bit different; Christmas Classics at the Royal Festival Hall

 

And it would appear that we are expected to sing from the same hymn sheet… but only when told

 

Doing very similar myself this afternoon, only on a less grand scale
Local church, pub after.
Have a good one.

 

thank you for this, I haven't been to the Royal festival Hall since I saw Mike Oldfield play there. I've probably put this on here somewhere before, but he conducted the other players with his feet! I will never forget it, I was sitting right near the front by complete luck.

 

Was it on his Tubular Bells tour?

 

I can't remember, I think it probably was. I can remember that the atmosphere was more like a classical recital, everyone on best behaviour.

 

I would have been a bit young to go gigs at the time but would have loved to have witnessed Tubular Bells being played live.
He certainly took his musical recitals very seriously.

 

And have a good one yourself sir.

 

Am I getting old; when did an okay 1 course dinner become £60?

 

12.5% service charge!! I'm with Mr Pink on this one.

 

You’ll have to enlighten me I’m afraid…

 

There's a scene in Reservoir Dogs where Mr Pink explains how he doesn’t believe in tipping.

 

It's optional on the receipt though, clearly GG is a philanthropist.

Although for balance tipping in America is to a large extent expected, or it was when I visited.

My Daughter worked in hospitality for a little bit largest tip was £60 which was really appreciated, it was not ever expected though.

 

Optional donation at a 10p charge and a 12.5% service charge, wow.
I’m sure it was worth it.
