Nitrox, it would be good to meet the day you will come to France; just let me know with some notice - if possible, as I am often away on business. For the sake of clarity, could you please before we meet let us know if you are a teatotaller so that we may take appropriate pre-emptive actions; you mentioned in your above post that while meeting over lunch we may share "one or two bottles of red wine" however as this won't be much for a gang of grown-up boys, I assume you don't drink alcohol?
