The man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Winston Churchill would be great to have around the table.
London has become one of the great world destinations for someone who likes food.
London is the most important city in the world for restaurants.
Dinner at college high table is one of the legendary experiences of England. I could remember keenly each one I had attended; the repartee is sharper than the cutlery.
On the Continent people have good food; in England people have good table manners.
The dinner table is a lively debate, and everybody weighs in in a different way. I like that, though.
The table is a meeting place, a gathering ground, the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety, and satisfaction. A person cooking is a person giving: Even the simplest food is a gift.

Everybody is welcome to come to dinner, but there's going to be the adult table and the kids' table. Whiny people who want to throw food and make noise and interrupt and be rude and act like children, they can sit at the kids' table.
The man of petty ambition if invited to dinner will be eager to be set next his host.
