Once Mr Jacobs told a story about a concert tour he did with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1949. In post war London things were not normal and someone brought him to dinner in a shady part of town that was noted for searving horsemeat. He went there before a concert at Royal Albert Hall. You guessed it, it hit hit him during the concert and he wanted to walk off stage. First off the audience surrounds the stage and, for him to walk off he had to go past the queen. He suffered big time but made it. The conductor (I believe Beecham) stated "that's what you get for eating in that part of town."
