    They were rather nice sandwiches as I remember but I was more impressed with the military precision of the catering.

    I was working as a facilities manager at the largest military club in Britain and was asked if I’d like to go as a reward for my services over the years. That’s when I was asked after I’d said yes if I’d like the queen & Phil to say hello on their way around. I’d met Phil many times as he was our patron.

    It’s more of a bow and a are you enjoying the party type of thing but you are told only to answer before hand. I think the whole thing was over in about two hours but we made a day of it by going to see a show and dinner.

    Oh. Why is the building referred to as The In and Out?

    Just checked Wiki.

    The club was formerly based at Cambridge House at 94 Piccadilly opposite Green Park and came to be known as "The In & Out" from the prominent signs on the building's separate vehicle entrance and exit gates. In 1996, the club purchased its current premises at 4 St. James's Square, the former London home of Waldorf and Nancy Astor from 1912 to 1942.

    Hardly you just picked the wrong one and I’m not offering which one as there’s too many trolls on here.
