Trend update: lunch is back!

With business meetings the only permitted mode of indoor interaction, suddenly the power lunch is back on the menu. https://twitter.com/hautepop/status/1189287453368168449

The new power lunch hotspots include the Wolseley, the Delaunay — and basically anywhere in the @CorbinandKing empire...

My brother’s wedding has been reclassified as a business lunch also.

They’re both in finance and we always end up talking about the state of the markets so it’s quite legit.

“A Number 10 spokesman suggested that the loophole may only be available to sole traders or freelancers with no business premises to conduct meetings as an alternative.”

Fine by me. In fact it’s a business opp: I’ll rent myself out as a meeting alibi https://www.bbc.com/news/business-54612206

I will lunch with you & the person you wish to have lunch with for the very reasonable rate of £100/h (and of course a free lunch).

£250/h if you want an NDA and no subtweets.

If I can just get 3 sets of people to agree to this then I’ve got a VICE article.

Govt officials might then catch wind of my scam and come knocking?

But the existence of the article would prove that the reporting of it was business.
