My LED headlights can be changed from Left Hand (UK) to Right Hand (Mainland Europe) on the screen in the car somewhere in level -7.5 of the menu system. They were supposed to change automatically from the sat nav detecting where the car was but it is just one of a long list of things supposed to be corrected by soft and firmware updates later this year and I did it manually. Irritatingly, it tells me they are changed every time I start the car.  My digital speedometer also will not change from MPH to KPH like it is supposed to, which has been a real p*****r over the summer in France.

Thanks Andy/Christoph for putting this together.

 

I'm assuming, as we've not been asked, that this year we don't have to decide what we're going to eat in advance. Can someone remind me of the cost of the meal? I've got 40 Euros in my head, but I could be making that up.

Christoph is arranging a short menu from which we can choose on the night.

 

He advised me in a PM "We expect about 40 euro for the food and 20 euro for drinks. Vegetarian choices are possible but we need to know before."

 

He has to confirm numbers today, I believe.

One standard meal* and a nice glass of wine for me, please.

 

Thanks a lot

 

Stefan

 

 

 

* I had business lunches in other countries, where I still don't know, what I had. If I were particular about food, I would be unemployable** in my position ;)

** Or in a language with a soft spot for compound nouns, arbeitsunfähig

For info (and similar to Wilson's comment) if you have a modern BMW the headlight setting can be adjusted left to right from the menus in iDrive, with older models there is a switch under a platic bung at the top of each headlight that I think operates an anti dazzle mechanism.

I'm starting to trust weather apps, when it comes to the next day :).

 

We’re on the way to Lyon, staying in Amiens tonight. Who knows where tomorrow.

 

We could do one of these Top Gear challenges, where you go by car while I take ICE and TGV, where I have to rely on a rather short connection in Baden-Baden (meaning, I'm taking the preposterous assumption that Deutsche Bahn is in time). Let's see, who is first at the bar on Friday evening. I give you a head start until Friday ;)

 

If that Baden-Baden thing does not work out, I'll text one of you to order a beer from the last round for me...

 

Stefan

Due to the size of the party, it has been necessary to pre-arrange a menu at the restaurant. Hopefully, this will suit all tastes!

 

Menu 13 October 2018 20:00hrs

 

Brasserie Paul Bocuse “Le Nord”

18 Rue Neuve, 69002 Lyon

 

+33 4 72 10 69 69

 

We have four courses this year:

 

Salade lyonnaise ( poached egg, frisée salad, bacon, croutons)

Epaule d’agneau confite (shoulder of lamb confit, mashed potatoes, carrots, onions, fresh thyme juice)

Demi Saint-Marcelin (local soft cheese made from cow’s milk)

Royal au chocolat (mousse au chocolat noire, thin leafy praliné, crispy)

 

And a wine flight:

 

Apéritif: 1 glass Côte du Ventoux (white)
White wine 1 glass petit chablis
Red wine 1 glass Crozes Hermitage
1/2 bottle Evian or Badoit

Coffee

 

Price : €61 per person

 

If anyone doesn't want the wine flight, the cost of the meal on its own is €42.

This is worth bearing in mind...

 

The Google panel refers to CASH ONLY
