We are indebted to the toastmaster Richard Birtchnell for his rendition of grace at the Aviation Club
Let us be grateful for the food and the wines,
And for those who fly the world”s airlines,
On the menu today is rib-eye beef,
And our VIP guest, who is BA”s chief.
He”ll be speaking after the strudel and cream,
An address to savour, no doubt supreme.
But first we have salmon ” smoked and aromatic,
Bon appetite, cabin doors to automatic.
