Reading the Mr Oil and Mr Vinegar restaurant review in FT Alphaville’s members-only Long Room site, a review of Le Caprice catches my eye – in particular, the following passage:
MrO: I’ve always loved it here, since my first visit in 1985 with a very pretty woman who flirted most outrageously with me.
MrV: Did you get anywhere with her?
MrO: No, she was a PR woman and I was a journalist so she was being paid to flirt. I phoned her a couple of weeks later to ask for a date and she didn’t remember who I was.
MrV: That’s PR people for you. Ghastly collection.
Messrs Oil and Vinegar should know. In their real lives the authors are those esteemed City PR people, Piers Pottinger and Damien McCrystal.

By outing other anon bloggers, don't you risk a similar fate?
Anyway, your Long Room membership has been suspended forthwith.
