My daughter in- law's sister works in a London hotel and had the ( cough).. pleasure of meeting Duncan Bannatyne and his family. The dining area was full but he insisted he wanted a table Now! Girl politely explained they were full and would have to wait. He still insisted on having a table, in fact he pointed to a table where a family were still eating and said he wanted that one! The girl again politely told him, yes, he could have that table when people had finished eating. Anyway, must have waited and eventually sat down to eat. When finished, the same girl asked the daughter how her burger was, and she gave a contemptuous look and turned her head without saying anything. What a delightful family :-(
Talbot. I'm not really defending him but I'm assuming this London restaurant may just be a wee bit miffed that a affluant,recognisable millionaire is being dissed in AB . he may even be a regular of this establishment ?
