0:15:57 > 0:16:00I sort of feel I have to apologise for this first question

0:16:00 > 0:16:03because you must be asked it a million times

0:16:03 > 0:16:06but nonetheless, you go into a restaurant, they know who you are,

0:16:06 > 0:16:10they either prepare the best possible meal for you or they spit in it.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13I book under a pseudonym, they don't know I'm coming and I turn up.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15So at that point they know I'm there.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22he said, I've yet to find a bad restaurant that becomes a good one because I turn up.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54I said bigger, not...you know.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58Um, more prominent. And therefore you have to give it up.

0:16:58 > 0:17:03There will be a time, but what I say it is about is my copy - the words that I write.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Every single piece of writing in the newspaper - the question is why should bother reading this?

0:17:07 > 0:17:11And you have to provide a service for the readers or they will move

0:17:11 > 0:17:14on to the gardening column which I know is on the next page.
