They can afford a bloody good one this year - 6 quid for a Sapporo in the Yo Sushi in Fenwicks.

yeah I think it's sad as I'm like you, quite new here and my first christmas has to be back home,

I'm sure you'll cope, try and get your man to get a few days off and do some nice things, it'll be good.

We've been here the past 4 years for Christmas and really enjoyed it. Always been with a big group of people, all away from home (Aussie friends nicknamed it 'Orphans Christmas') and had a great time.

Spectrum in Fairmont is very good (but pricey now), was at Al Qasr last year and also very good.
