Laughing matter

By Paul Fulford on Nov 17, 08 09:18 AM

With all the economic gloom and doom that's engulfing us, I was surprised to see how busy the Mailbox's restaurant were on Saturday night as my wife and I made our way to the very pleasant Ha Ha Bar and Grill.

Each of the restaurants we passed was packed with diners and, at Ha Ha, there was a slight delay while they checked if they could fit us in.

Which leads me to wonder whether (a) the economic downturn isn't impacting of people as harshly as claimed or (b) folk are spending regardless.

I wonder, too, whether the Mailbox might be a special case, with its appeal to young, well-heeled punters.

Ha Ha was very good, by the way. There's a review in Thursday's paper.
