I hope you’re not mellowing. You wrote, “The dining room of the Mas de Pierre is modern elegant and chi-chi but I can understand people liking it.” Since when have you deluded yourself that views different from yours could have merit? Come on, man, if you don’t get a grip, I’ll have to change newspapers!

I object to your suggesting La Colombe d’Or raise its prices. I have modest means and it’s a treat to go there. You can afford debts, even brag about them. You’re just messing things up for us.

A stranger approached me and said, “You’re Michael Winner!” I’m not sure if this gratuitous insult was directed at you or me. I’d send you a photo of myself, but I don’t want to spoil your week.

Like Mrs Froomberg last week, British Airways lost my suitcase. They paid £776 compensation, citing the Montreal convention. I’m taking them to court for an extra £1,500 for luggage and £500 for distress, work, etc. BA’s solicitors say unless I withdraw I’ll have to pay their costs which they estimate at £4,404! Is that bullying or what?

After seeing Mamma Mia!, my wife asked what Abba meant. I told her, “Anyone but British Airways”.
