Thanks for the coverage, Graham. Were there actually frogs legs on the menu? I would have ordered them just to be in the mood of the evening. Looks like you all had fun, and as you say, the watches just lubricate the conversation which is always interesti... 

sadly no frogs Andrew. and i even tried to buy some proper chocolate frogs, but couldnt find any. they are available in UK, i thought it would be fun to have one each, but you can never find what you want when you want it. in all honesty, the menu was fai...
