She came across like a pathetic schoolgirl dobbing in to teacher.

A little thicker skin is required if you ask me? Talk about taking it badly?

I think it was worse than that.

Channel Nine news in Sydney last night actually reported on this little spat as their lead item. Like it was the most important bit of news that occurred that day :confused:.

I seriously began to consider that it must be more important than I'd originally thought - they were reporting it as if it was some major diplomatic incident - the way they gave it such a priority. Eventually I realised that it was just a bit of typical C9 cross-promotion.

Thankfully ABC news an hour later didn't mention it once.

l would'nt be suprised i they both met a couple of weeks ago and planned or staged the whole thing, before this happened few people even knew Gordon Ramsay was in Melbourne and opening a restraunt there , now just about everyone knows, Also A Current Affairs ratings have shot through the roof, both sides have gained millions in free publicity.

From what I have heard, he may not have got 'good' publicity from this. He needs this restaurant to work.

If he gets on the wrong side of the Australian public, and we must remember that Tracy Grimshaw is very popular here, he may not attract as many customers as he hopes, unless he is going for British customers.

Oh he will - they'll be flocking in, now that he's notorious! :D

People will go just so they can abuse him. Then they'll discover he's not there but back in the UK or in the States, eat the food and realise he can cook and so can his staff and have a good meal.:D

The people that will be eating at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant are not in the same demographic as the people that watch pathetic and unintelligent shows such as A Current Affair.

Finally, a really decent restaurant opening in Australia. This is going to set the future benchmark for gastronomy in this country.

I don't think they need to have watched it, I think it also hit the newspapers.
I didn't even see it myself, but was asked what it was all about.

I'm still not sure :lol:

Ok, I've realised that I'm actually confused about who Gordon actually is?

Can you help clarify this for me please?
