How many people are permitted to accompany a recipient of a Gold DoE at Buck House?

Only one it seems - to St James's anyway.


"We invite as many Award recipients as possible to attend a presentation at St James?s Palace. As space in the State Apartments is limited you are only able to bring one personal guest, who must be over the age of 16."

Probably a well-known multi-poster-reincarnate...

Thanks John.

And one that rhymes with the current name, I'd guess.

I rather like his sense of humour and that he uses it to deal with what must be pretty tedious activities (not Sn, sorry, Borky: Prince Philip). He's spent his whole life getting on with what has to be done, apparently not worrying too much how sections of the media may spin it, and accepting the limitations his role has imposed on him, such as not being able to give his own children his surname, his family's exile from Greece and his mother's mental illness.

Yes. Reminds me of a former poster, with a username that sounded very similar to this one. Although this latest one is more like a crude parody of the original.

I was lucky enough to attend Buckingham Palace presentation last may, and it was only one guest on the invitation. However, and I'm not sure if this was because it was the Diamond jubilee year, my husband was also allowed to attend, as he signed up to complete a Diamond Challenge.

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
