The White’s is the mainly fashionable English gentlemen’s club. It was founded in 1693 by Italian Francesco Bianco (Francis White) to sell the lately exposed hot chocolate but ultimately become a typical (but extremely private) gentlemen’s club. The club is well-known for its “betting book” in which members make bizarre gambles. The most famous of which is a 3,000 pound bet on which of two raindrops would slide down the window first. So why is this club on the list. Women are excluded entirely from membership, so that is half our audience out. Secondly, men who want to join this exclusive club can only do so if invited by a sitting associate who has the hold up of two other members. Unless you are a member of royalty, or are extremely powerful in politics or the arts, you are not likely to ever see the restricted White’s incitement in the place.
