The guy said GR likes to visit France and wants help out a struggling British-owned restaurant here. My reasons for saying 'no' ? - because 1) Ive never had a plate of food returned to me or complained about and, 2) GR is a 'word that begins with 'wa' has 'nk' in the middle and 'er' at the end.' In my eyes anyway. Can't stand him.    Report

Anyway, you have got to give it to the guy, he actually delivered in turning these eateries around.  He knows his stuff and has probably never had a plate returned to him either.  Hey, another similarity..... you are both perfect    Report

Anyway, I was not rude to you in my post. But then again you are just a katie and I wont hold that against you.  Have nice day!.      Report
