Madame A may well be right that restaurant reviews are boring, but then so is business reporting. Yet there are good business reporters, and bad ones; the same holds for restaurant reviewers. Palmer was pretty good; Jasper is perfectly dreadfulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643113.post-73269062573437420362008-03-14T18:56:00.000+00:002008-03-14T18:56:00.000+00:00I see the Grey Cardigan in Press Gazette doesn't c...I see the Grey Cardigan in Press Gazette doesn't care for Palmer who's a snob apparently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643113.post-69821371809168063242008-03-14T14:02:00.000+00:002008-03-14T14:02:00.000+00:00oh you must!

I wonder whether this may lead to a feud such as existed between the late Sheridan Morley and Toby Young after the latter was installed as theatre critic of the Spectator in an ill-judged attempt by the hideous Boris Johnson (I do hope no Arcatistes are going to vote for him!) to youthify the magazine. I would hate to think that an ageist might become mayor of London.<BR/><BR/>I've heard the oddest story about Obama. I don't know what to think.

Why on earth sack the latter if the former is the best you can do in his place?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
