Fake Name Diner

[joggerjayne]

So I've tried to book for lunch next week at a restaurant called The Ivy.

Almost inevitably, it's booked up.

Almost inevitably, they would find a table for a high profile client.

So ...

If I phone back and say I need a table for four, for Sarah Doukas, say.

The three of us turn up, and say we are expecting Ms Doukas anytime.

Then we "get a text message" ... she's not going to make it, so we'd better order.

Immoral?

Not?

Oh, and I couldn't get a table at The Wolseley, either.

Would you do the fake?

You would, right?

Yes?

I'm very tempted.

[joggerjayne]

Nuts

[joggerjayne]

Really No ?

[erin-x]

Would that actually work??

[daffy654]

I would do it.

[joggerjayne]

erin ... yes, of course.

[bednobs]

will they even know who that is?

[sherrardk]

SC - you really are a charmer!

[mazie]

Who is Sarah Doukas ?

[joggerjayne]

bednobs ...

Yes, they will.

But you can't go for anyone TOO obvious.

If you said you needed to reserve a table for Pippa Middleton, they'd suss you.

No, a: I'm on a diet
b: It would probably cost me both my monthly pensions.
c. I haven't got anything to wear.
d. Who the hell is Sarah Doukas.

I love screaming kids.

[sherrardk]

They're actually really well behaved (apart from the evil twin who is more trouble than the others put together).

[joggerjayne]

Sarah Doukas is the boss of Storm models.

She discovered Kate Moss, and changed the face of fashion and the catwalk.

[erin-x]

I would do it... You're not harming anyone by doing it! Lol :-)

[joggerjayne]

If she books a table at your restaurant, she'll probably have someone like Karen Millen with her.

I don't think it'll work JJ. I think The Ivy deal with a handfull of agents or PR people who arer the ones who really pull the punches rather than the celebs.
