Well, we normally go most of the afternoon, because it takes considerable time

deciding what we want, and then we have the Bistro Maths problem of getting the
total of the individual orders to add up to the total that S@H claims for the
joint order (Ken our resident accountant and spreadsheet expert being essential
to this task). So if we use your place and have to finish earlier, then we will
all have to agree to start earlier than normal or else the order will not get
done (heaven forbid!).

'Ere's a thought. I've just tried this, and S@H saves your order even if you
close the session. Sooooo, if anyone knows what they want to order already,
I could enter it in prior to the meeting and save it ready for Final Orders
on Sunday. Would this smooth the process?
