On the whole, Ramsay makes me retch somewhat less than the execrable Harriott.

I'm fairly certain Gill had made the comments prior to the incident - probably in one of his food columns. If so he was merely doing his job, and Ramsey - as a supposed top chef - should've done his and served him.

Fair enough, but how many times have certain actors/musicians/whatever refused interviews with certain journalists due to past offence...a lot is the answer. Surely they should just get on with their jobs and promote their products too?
