    It would have been lovely, but I'm too far! West Midlands girl.
  • LizyLizy
    Ooh, great, Smaug. A table for three so far!

    Now, Lizy, enough of your excuses. 2000 miles indeed. You've got walking boots, haven't you?
    I have indeed - they come out every morning for my daily exercise. The trouble is that my water-wings have developed a leak.

    I think there's quite a lot of us West Midland folk on here. Perhaps we should organise a Faggot n mushy pay barbecue?

  • polar bearpolar bear
    :) Who else is from the West Mids here? A coffee meet up would be fun.

    Hmmm, I wouldn't pay for a nibble on a faggot.

    There's a lot to be said for faggots. They had to change the name on Brain's Faggots when there was the CJD scare, but they were lovely.
    It's not as far for me to Uxbridge as for Lizy, but the wet bit makes it very expensive.
  • LizyLizy
    Lovely way of describing La Manche, Mrs Bear!

    And I think trying to barbecue mushy pays might be a tad tricky, snail!

    I was made to eat a faggot at infant school. I told the dinner lady I DID NOT LIKE FAGGOTS. She FORCED me to eat it. I ate it. I was sick on the plate.

    I will not tell you what dinner-lady story that reminds me of.
    some things mark you for life.

    Think yourself lucky not to have had Groaty Pudding, TN

    Just stick em on a baking tray.

    I am in Denham just 3 miles from Uxbridge so I hope to be there! The metro lines to Uxbridge are Piccadilly and Metropolitan by the way. It takes me about an hour on the Piccadilly line to South Kensington. It can be a quicker journey if you change here and there.

    I was 45 in 1981.

    I have just eaten two digestive biscuits.

    I just had a packet of Hula Hoops.
  • Stan2Stan2
    A whole packet?
  • Baggy BooksBaggy Books
    It was a small one.

    How small is small?
  • Baggy BooksBaggy Books
    24g - hardly worth the effort of opening the bag.
  • Stan2Stan2
    Hm...
  • ClaudiaClaudia
    Oi you two - get thee off to the scoff thread!

    He's older than me as well, but not by much!

    So...

    So far - correct me if I'm wrong - we need a table for five:

    casey
    Smaug
    Bill
    Nefertari
    TN

    Any more takers?
  • Stan2Stan2
    Poor Bill! =:)
  • ClaudiaClaudia
    If I'm back from Ireland - which a very distinct possibility as I've got a number of chores to deal with in London/Surrey - I'm in.
    I think you missed my post.
  • Tiny NellTiny Nell
    Ooh, lovely!

    So that's:
    casey
    Smaug
    Bill
    Nefertari
    TN
    Claudia (?)
  • Stan2Stan2
    Have fun when you meet.
  • Lou TreleavenLou Treleaven
    A day later and I could have come - sob!
  • Stan2Stan2
    You have to change your plans so you can be there!
  • Lou TreleavenLou Treleaven
    I know! But I'm working that day. Next time!
  • NefertariNefertari
    I can do the day after...
  • ClaudiaClaudia
    I can do the day after...
    If I'm around, I'm around, and will be able to come whichever day you pick. :)

  • SmaugSmaug
    I can do 5th or 6th
  • Tiny NellTiny Nell
    Yes, casey and I can also do the 6th which means that Lou can come. Can you make that too, Bill? Claudia, I think you said you were pretty flexible.

    If so, shall we say Friday 6th June at 11 am?

    casey has kindly researched suitable venues and has suggested:

    'Starbucks in the InTu shopping centre. This is left of the station. Starbucks is on the left just inside the Mall, opposite Waterstones. They have additional seating upstairs so plenty of space even if it is busy, which it wasn't this morning.'

    I'm sure some of us will recognise others. If there's anyone else who would like to join us, that would be lovely. Just turn up and we'll make a space for you!
  • BillBill
    6th ok with me
  • Lou TreleavenLou Treleaven
    I can come but won't be able to get there until poss 12.30 as I'm judging an opening chapter competition for a writers' group which finishes at 11.30... will you still be there?
  • Tiny NellTiny Nell
    I'm sure we can force down another coffee (and cake!), Lou! We might hide under the table and jump out when we see you coming.
  • ClaudiaClaudia
    I'll make a note of it, and if I'm back in the UK, I should be able to come.
