Change of plan, my friend has moved her leaving do to Thursday, so i'm back with plan A...i'm coming from Waterloo instead. I'll probably tube to Tottenham Court Road and hoof it from there.
 
hi guys just speaking as some one who lived in the big smoke for 5 years , those of you that are getting buses please realise they is no queuing system they may be the odd good ol soul but they all just go for the doors in a hord , so dont stand there thinking to yourself ohh these people have been waiting longer then me they aint more then likely , just a freindly warning xx


P.S hope you all have a brill time xxx
 
Honestly reading all your posts I have the distinct impression that at least two or more of you will get lost on the underground or stay on a bus for the whole journey to the back of beyond. I have a feeling this will be a fab day out and I wish I was coming to meet those of you who make it to the right place !! Photos please.
 
No I hope there won't be a photo produce instrument (I belive they are called cam-er-a-s) Help 😱

Ha ha, nice try but there's no way you'll get through the day without at least one group photo!

That might just be me knowing my sense of direction!
 
3 Days To Go!!!!!!!! :D
 
OK, has everyone got their times and meeting places sorted? Has everyone got the mobile number of at least one other member?

Just to remind you, the plan is to meet outside the Souvenir shop in the British Museum at 11:00 am. For those of you travelling in together - let the other people know what you look like, and if possible what you will be wearing on the day as an additional identifying feature. Looks like the weather might be a bit rubbish, unfortunately, but hopefully not too cold.

It sounds like there may be over 20 people in total, so we might have to consider this when we move from the museum to the pub - anyone got any good suggestions of a large place we could go to? How busy do the places normally get on a Saturday in that area?

I'll chase up again later!:D
 
I'll be wearing my fred flinstone costume and the way this week is panning out I'll be in the pub before 11am🙄😛 Will have a think about a large boozer:D Oh and I ain't got no ones mobile but I'll find you all!:D

Katie and I won't be arriving till later, but maybe one of the people arriving earlier will PM you with their mobile? It's handy, just in case you get delayed...the best laid plans of mice and men etc.!😱
 
No worries we survived before mo-billies and the pub wil be open😉
 
When I actually bother to get my mobile out to find out my number and send it to northe, I will send it to you too rossi. Just in case you get lost and are still lost by the time we get there haha.

I'll be back.

Yes!!!

I can have the day off and go to the meet.:D

I've bought some name badges so we can know everybody's name... 🙂

My memory is terrible after a few pints....😱

I've exchanged mobile numbers with Tom H and we are gonna get the same train from Brighton.

I'm just deciding what to wear.... Brighton football kit to look like my avatar or something sensible?:D
