Does anyone know if London's Private Members Clubs are still open?

Places like the Devonshire Club, Carlton Club etc. If not then the rich & powerful must be desperate to get them open.
 
Yes I was having a gin with Buster and Tarquin this morning ?
Oh was that you I saw with those 2 prim fellows in tweed & crushed velvet smoking jackets. I meant to pop over an introduce myself but the serving wench had put 2 cubes of ice in my single malt rather than 1, so I had to go complain to Montgomery the house manager about the ineptitude of his serving staff. You know how it is one must complain in order to maintain standards. ?

You're clearly not a member of such an establishment; a request for any amount of ice in a single malt would have led to the serving wench reporting you to Montgomery, who would have blackballed you. :)

Don't you know who I am old chap I'm the clubs most decorated Squadron Leader and I most certainly will have ice if I damn well want it. I didn't lead a privileged life to be told what I can and can't have by the staff. ?

Squadron Leader!! What kind of club is that, we dont allow junior ranks in ours, Only Scrambled Eggs and rolled trouser legs.
 
I do have a chuckle over this. We do actually have a real life serving wench named Aga behind the bar at our club - and, yes, she's a lovely person. :love:

I do hope she's still there when all this madness is over.

We also had a Polish lady who ran our bar and catering with her husband - they were excellent. She may have been call Aga, but, being a common bunch of Midlanders, we just called her Aggie.

Closed like all other restaurants and bars I’d have thought Dave

The RAC club website says it’s shut due to government rules.
