I always enjoy reading the column by Sir Clement Freud in every Saturday's Racing Post and thought you might find this amusing. Don’t underestimate ......This man was having dinner in a small but quite pretentious restaurant when an attractive woman came in and was seated at a corner table on the far side of the room. The man called over the waiter and asked him to take over a bottle of good claret to the lady with his compliments. Waiter did what he had been asked and explained it was from “the man over there”. She looked at the bottle for a while and without turning, wrote a note: for me to accept this bottle you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million pounds in the bank and seven inches in your pocket. The waiter delivered the note to the man, who wrote back: Things are not always what they seem. I have a Ferrari and an Aston Martin in my garage, houses in Aspen and Monte Carlo, a large ranch in Idaho, in excess of 20 million in my bank. However, not even for a woman as lovely as you, would I cut off three inches from what I have in my pocket; please could I have my wine back.
