Sometimes there will be other official lunches.Jim Hacker: Even better. We'll fill up the odd gaps.Sir Humphrey Appleby: I think that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office might have some views on that.Jim Hacker: Oh, why?Sir Humphrey Appleby: Well, they always say that one Prime Minister's lunch with an ambassador destroys two years of patient diplomacy.
