The art of being an English Gentleman (Part 3)

Up late, down to business early. Appropriate suit, turtle neck and stout brogues. It is two days before Christmas and barely a soul in the city stirs. Tube to town, into Simpsons on the Strand, full English, four rounds of toast (white), bottle of something fizzy & white. Cocktails in the Savoy, sprint to Covent Garden, buy flowers, diamonds and dreams. Return to Savoy, polish off three bottles of crispy. Find a girl, call her Jasmine, book a room, disappear with a flourish and return with a knowing grin... Happy Christmas!
