A big up to David Beckham who came in to the office yesterday, we are helping him build up a lettings portfolio for his boys, anyway we had a bit of laugh and ending up having a penalty shoot out in the car park. Unfortunately David slipped up on a rotten banana skin at sudden death and took out the chinese chef from the Taste of China.

Good luck with the twisted ankle David - hope you are back playing soon.

What was better at at the lane on Sunday :-

a) watching a 0-0 draw ? b) stopping for Mc D’s on way home ? - Answer b.

The DBLC met most recently at the recently opened Merchant House restaurant in Hertford - Tony Cicchirillo was King Bat for the day.

Now, this is my opinion, nice restauarant, very good food, good surroundings but front of house is non existant at lunchtime - hopefully there might be an improvement of the evening service.

Anyway an original  score of 8.58 was reduced to TOTAL OF 7.83 after deduction for NO DRINK ON THE HOUSE.

OVERALL : Very decent restaurant, good food, sort your front of house and staff out and you might have a winner, but no return visit for me at until this changes.
