    Give it up Lord Haw Haw. Everyone knows you're thick and therefore can't command Swiss rates.

            Perch probably, the Swiss do have the most boring fish dishes in Europe.

              That's nothing special for London, but expensive for pretty much anywhere else in the country. I'm assuming €300-400/night? Just because you earn a lot doesn't stop that being quite a lot, in the same way that if you're a millionaire, £50 for a steak is still fairly expensive regardless of the fact you can easily afford it.

                  Do you include the Slovakians in that?

                    I took my son to the Hawksmoor in Manchester. He loved it. I think they were more impressed that a 15-year-old lad wanted his steak medium rare.

                      Your son's got expensive tastes.
