PETER: Good news.I found Rajdoot's number straight away and they can fit us in.Their CHristmas menu sounds great.

JOAN: What is it?

PETER: French onion soup or fruit juice.

JOAN: Uh-huh.

PETER: Roast dinner or lentil curry...sounds ordinary 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 until next 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 the menu.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.
