Another link to a good old days era of the island will slowly fade away,as i remember times where we just got on with life,without being bombarded with the madness of things like Health and Safety,or any other do gooding wet behind the ears pansy regulations that have slowly eaten into the once common sense, and accepting responsibility for your own actions society we were so lucky to have known.As it happens,the first real and very authentic bistro at the time, that first graced our shores,started up in 1972 and was situated where Confucius is now,contree Mansell,a fact that i know well,as i was the first kitchen assistant working alongside Carol and Paul Butler in that busy little bistro which was buldging at the seams every night,what a fantastic atmosphere it was too,and no one was outside having a smoke blocking up the pavement like the ridiculous situation we have now,yes folks shock horror,you could smoke inside,and no one gave two hoots about it,we lived !As a matter of interest Whistlers Bistro was the next fantastic eatery to open, along with Berties wine bar,and sadly no matter what anyone may say,we will never see the like of La Recolte,Berties,Whistlers or Valentinos again.Fond memories of these professionaly run establishments with a true relaxed continental feeling ,will stay with me for ever.
