Out of interest - does anyone know the cost of 'ball polishing' .....
That reminds me of a story (for some reason)....
Years ago, I was with my wife and sons (14 and 11 at the time) at a very pretentious hotel restaurant run by a very smarmy middle-European maitre d'. All the other staff were charming local waitresses. At the end of the meal, the maitre d' glided up to me and said, "Hef my girls been treating you well tonight, sir?", and I replied "Well, the last time I was asked that question I was in a VERY different sort of establishment." My wife kicked me viciously under the table, but it was worth it.
