PETER: Good news.I found Rajdoot's numberstraight away and they can fit us in.Their CHristmasmenu sounds great.
JOAN: What is it?
PETER: French onion soup or fruit juice.
JOAN: Uh-huh.
PETER: Roast dinner or lentil curry...soundsordinary but my friend said it was really tasty.
JOAN: Umm...lentil curry...thats unusual.
PETER: Then for dessert there's traditional plum pudding or apple pie,plus coffee.
JOAN: That sounds really good for ￡12.Did you book it?
PETER: Well,I said I'd check with the staff first.But they did say they'd hold the booking untilnext Wednesday anyway.Oh,and if we go ahead,they'd like a ￡50 deposit.
JOAN: 50 is normal...that's fine.
PETER: And they want a letter.
JOAN: Right...to confirm.
PETER: And they say with such large numbers we have to choose the menu in advance.
JOAN: That won't be a problem.I'll put up a notice with details of the restaurant and themenu.When did you say they wanted confirmation by?
PETER: It was...let's see...the 4th of November.
JOAN: Where do you think I should put up the notice?Where everyone's guaranteed to see it.
PETER: On the cafe noticeboard I should think.
JOAN: Hardly anyone looks at that.
PETER: Well,the Newsletter is probably your best bet.
JOAN: Good idea.I'll go and do that now.
