baggsy - Love that word haven't heard it for yonks

I love yonks! I use it all the time. ( can hear the folks down south scratching their heads!)

 

[HOBIE]

I will get there early doors & av a word with the man 😉. Need to be there with me breadcrumbs. 🙂

 

[Casper]

Don’t think we will need to Carol. Maybe @HOBIE will let us know what he thinks, our Wetherspoons is huge so assuming ( you know what they say about assuming) this one will be quite big. We will get there early and baggsy a table! See you there! X

If its still the Union Rooms, it isn't a Wetherspoons any more - it got sold in January 2017 to a 'Durham based businessman' check on Tripadvisor for reviews - not as good as it used to be apparently

Hey, I'm a Southerner & know words like Baggsy & Yonks.....

 

[Wirrallass]

My youngest is up for that weekend so there's every possibility I'll be there too. Will travel by car ~ more comfortable than the train. Looking forward to putting faces to names.

Just a word of warning about Saturday - the RMT union are staging a strike on Saturday and this will affect Northern trains, so worth checking before you leave in case there are cancellations or rescheduling
