Quick drink with Andrew.

To the Coach & Horses in Soho to meet my old friend Andrew Holt. He lives in Sydney and I hadn’t seen him for years. In fact, the last time we had a drink was in New York on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center about six weeks before 9/11. That famous bar was called Windows on the World and “gentlemen” had to wear a jacket to get in. We turned up jacketless and I thought I might have travelled 3,000 miles and 107 floors only to be refused entry, but no. Guests without jackets were given a green polyester Windows on the World jacket and we wore these ghastly garments with pride. Particularly tasteful was the crest on the breast pocket which said WoW.
