Valairian joined us and tucked in with great relish, One of the Bristol Directors on the next table seemed to have a look of distaste on his face as he surveyed what he had piled on his plate, and merely toyed with his food, but made up for any disappointment with several glasses of ? complimentary Red Wine !
When arriving at the Cheese and Biscuit stage, the Cheese was prepacked into fingers and appeared to present a challenge to all those attempting to open them, several diners in spite of hacking at them with knives and tearing at the plastic with their teeth seemed to give up on the task and we're content with nibbling their cream crackers !.
However, these are but observations which being nosey I always take on board, and it would be churlish of me not to mention how much I enjoyed the company of Revived Red and his companion.
As for my impressions of the Buffet ?.....

Thanks, yonmon. A good summary of the event. Delighted that you enjoyed it. And to reassure you - all alimentary functions are back to normal. My Bristol friend was less than happy with his club's directors. He thought they were a sullen lot, but was very appreciative of the conversations with you (and Julian), Valairian, Peter Marsden and others. He could not believe how friendly everyone was.
