    The average cost of the three outfits is £700. And this from a leftward-leaning paper that champions the less fortunate in society. I'm cancelling my subscription, i.e. deleting the app.

    Can anybody ready this feature behind The Times paywall, and does it say anything interesting?

    And I still have the memory of the ridiculous charges for New Year 2000 !

    I rarely eat out but £45 for one of these 'tasting menus' is not high, but it depends on the number of courses.
    I went out to Borough last night to have a go in one or two pubs and every one was like New Year's Eve, so I gave up.

    I don't often get to try unvisited Central London pubs nowadays, but I did last night, only to find three of my potential targets closed for corporate bookings.

    There are central London pubs you haven't visited??? Even I can lay claim to that but even so, at this time of year it's common for pubs to succumb to the Closed for Private Party curse.
