Duke of Wellington, Newton

A lack of response from Ellenborough Park makes me think they are very happy with their prices. I didn't want a massive reduction, even points on a loyalty card would have sufficed, but I shall take my hundred pounds and spend it on scones elsewhere. This raises another point - would anyone like any scones?

Message to the Duke of Wellington, Newton

"Dear Sir/Madam/proprietary type,

My wife and I are looking for a suitable location for a winter get together around the area of your establishment and I am writing to enquire as to whether you are likely to have Christmas decorations littering your ceilings towards the end of November.

I can tolerate children running around and singing 'Jingle Bells' as they push their sibling's head into a fountain but I feel this month is much to early to be forcing guests to increase their frivolity and I strongly feel that tinsel and ceiling decorations are designed to do just that.

I hope I am not projecting an image of Scrooge here as I once spent an entire Christmas party with my underwear on the outside of my suit as we strode between public houses, however that was on the 15th of December and well into what I like to call 'the Christmas Zone'.

I look forward to your reassurance.

Kind regards,

T. Lander, esq."
