Mark Pearson, founder of the UK’s leading daily city deals website http://www.Groupola.com commented on the findings;

“It’s an age old question, and as a site that offers people huge amounts of money off of experiences and eating out, thought we were well placed to ask our users the question. The top ten dinner guests as voted for by our users is certainly a formidable list – whether you’d get a word in edgeways is another matter!”

He continues,

“If dinner parties are your thing, sites such as Groupola.com are great for finding money off coupons to a varieties of restaurants and experiences. I can’t promise that you will bump in to Jesus or Al Capone, but I hear that Stephen Fry and Simon Cowell are regulars on the London dining circuit!”
