Priceless information

From Dr David Whittle Sir: I am not at all bothered by Deborah Ross's failure to describe the food at the Ivy (Restaurants, 17 June). What does con- cern me is her failure to mention the bill. How else am I to be reassured that the Ivy, like all other restaurants reviewed in your organ, is out of my league?
