A very nice man

On a more positive note, we're having lunch in one of our favorite restaurants and D comes over and takes our order. We both order, but before I can order the wine, D says 'and a bottle of Puech Haut.' It's the only place we ever drink the stuff and jolly nice it is too.

Anyway, he said, 'look because it's Christmas wouldn't it be nice to have a few bottles in?'

I replied that it was a bit too expensive to keep around the house, at which point he said, 'I'll get you some at the same price as I pay.' 'How many bottles do you want?'

Isn't that good PR? He makes a nice chrismassy gesture, generates a lot of goodwill, sends me away happy and it doesn't cost him a penny. Smart operator.

Jan fancies him and I understand why.
