Just heard Julia on the peony flaars show suggesting you buy one of the arrangements to take to a friends if you were going round for dinner,fair enough, she then went on to say a bottle of wine could cost you £25 to £30! How ridiculous, how many people do you know who would pop round for dinner and bring you a bottle of wine that would cost that much, perhaps my mates are all skinflints but they do come out with some drivel sometimes!!

Jill Franks in particular, seems to believe she is talking solely to the Knightsbridge crowd, who think nothing of spending £15 on a coffee and sandwich !

My friends and I have made a pact. They don't bring anything to me, and I don't take anything to them , when we have lunch/dinner at each other's homes. We are inviting for the company, not for what they bring - we all agreed we'd had enough of pot plants, plonk and boxes of Heroes. Candles were never on the list. This was a liberating experience, no guilt at forgetting a 'pressy' and calling in at the garage. Just turning up is enough.

I'm at a loss for words that JR can even imagine her audience could contemplate paying those wine prices for friends, and Jill Franks to say "what can you buy for under £25 ?" as she did one year when discussing Xmas presents, just shows how little they know (or care) of their target audience. Jill Franks in particular, seems to believe she is talking solely to the Knightsbridge crowd, who think nothing of spending £15 on a coffee and sandwich !
