Alberta: Would you like to come for dinner with us this evening?
Sanjay: That would be great! Thanks.
Alberta: We're going to Platinum restaurant.
Sanjay: I'm afraid I don't know it. Can you tell me how to get there?
Alberta: We can pick you up from your hotel - say 7:30? Sanjay: Great! But could you make it 8 o'clock, do you think? I have to make a phone call at 7:30.
Alberta: Of course - we can say 8:30 if you like?
Sanjay: No - 8 is fine. Er - sorry to ask, but can I smoke in the restaurant?
Alberta: I'm afraid not. You can't smoke in any public places in this country.
