Well - somebody has to be the odd one out - and as nobody else is 
volunteering, I'll be the one :-)

Shipping Forecast is not exactly quiet - definitely much louder than Red 
Hot I would think. Also, in terms of food value for money, Red Hot is 
much better for a Christmas meal. Hard to make a proper meal out of the 
Shipping Forecast menu, I'd say. On top of that, if we go to the same 
venue we always go to, will it really feel like a Christmas 
meal/occasion, or the usual after-meeting drinks?

On the other hand, I'll go with the majority vote one way or another.
