1. Buckingham Palace State Dining Room (your Mother's personal favourite)OK boys here's the deal. I've done the maths & six dining chairs into fifteen of us won't go for Christmas lunch. MOTH suggested that we could play the old musical chairs game, & those without a chair at the end will just have to plonk anywhere & balance a plate & a drink as best as they can. I feel that is not appropriate, so I've been looking at alternatives. It would mean a little travel to get there on the day, but hey, it means that we all get a seat around the table & that's what really matters. I'm sure I can borrow one of these lovely venues, I do know that in the case of #1, the particular family involved will be having their Family Feud Day at one of their other castle's.
However, there would be a few rules to abide by first. Please read & agree to them before casting your vote.
- No feet up on the seat opposite.
- No flip-flops, make an effort & find a pair of shoes from somewhere & wear them.
- No stubbies on the table - as difficult as it may be, please pour your beer into a glass.
- No T-shirts with 'dubious' messages (particularly the 'I Competed in the XV World Cannabis Cup' designer Tee I've spoken to you about before) - a bit of decorum on the day will go far.
- Baseball caps off, yes off for the whole of lunch.
- Give the can of deodorant that I bought you 3 years ago a run - pleeeeease!
- Keep the loud raucous laughter to a gentle hum.
- No dissing the Security guards. (especially if # 2 wins.)
- No slipping Acca Dacca's Highway To Hell into the middle of the carefully selected Sacred Christmas music compilation that I like to play during lunch. The shock would be all too much for me
- Sorry, but as much as I like them, your mates Rizza, Jimbo, Markie-Mark, Damo, Little Mattie, Jace, Kymbo, C-Dog, Ango & Spadey need to find somewhere else to eat & drink this Christmas.

3. Winfield House
4. Leeds Castle
5. 10 Downing Street
6. The Royal Yacht Britannia (this gets MOTH's vote)So there you have it - 6 very nice places with dining settings big enough to accommodate the lot of us. Yes, I know you might say they lack a little of the ambience of our place, but I reckon it would only take a few minutes & we'd make it feel just like home. MOTH spilling the wine, Son #2 being reprimanded for his appalling eating habits, Son #3 texting under the table the entire meal, Son #4 reeling off his very 'colourful' jokes encouraged by MOTH & Son #5 constantly filling up my wine glass so I completely forget the entire lunch!!
