Such forward organisation, I am indeed impressed… Not fussed about dates as me and my beloved (Crusoe, for those who haven’t sussed it) should be around all August, and we don’t have far to go. He is incommunicado this week but I am sure he would be interested. Will let you all know the outcome of the epic rock/scissors/paper/thumb wrestling contest that will decide whether one or other or both pop along! ---

If I’ve got a bed, so do you. If we get one room with two double beds, that’ll be the perfect scenario for driving Alex batshit with girlie stuff! ---

Ooh, it’s a bit early for me to be able to say much about August, but the 9th is probably best. ---

D’oh! Sorry about that. I’m going to blame being female, having no spatial awareness skills whatsoever, to the extent that I have to turn a map around to face the way I’m going if I want to give directions, and that’s difficult on a computer screen 😉 ---

Borough sounds good. There are loads of nice pubs, shame I can’t remember names and locations. One was something to do with markets or something. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sir Doris \* > **He could come if he promised to stick to lemonade.** Problem is almost all pubs in central London are gonna be over 18’s or over 21’s only. If it was a nice day, we could sit outside, but I don’t know that everyone would want to sit outside in the evening, and if it rains, he’s buggered. We can go indoors, but he can’t. Ahh, well, there will be other dopefests he can come to. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/august-londope-plan-now-and-avoid-the-rush/172136.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/august-londope-plan-now-and-avoid-the-rush/172136.md?page=4)
