Good news, Frannie, thanks for all the effort. Cockney Rebel, it’ll be an honour to raise a few pints with you again! Neato. So, Twisty, where are _you_ spending the night, eh? 🙂 ---

ObiWan If I have missed you out/put you in the wrong list, do let me know. Later today I’ll going to call the Mitre and say “Between 15 and 20 of us” and that should be a safe bet. So do we want to meet during the day? I’d say The British Museum is a safe bet for daytime cultural thingies - something for everyone (you’ll find me looking at the mummies). So I’m going to say: **2pm at Paddington station by the Paddington Bear stand** and then later **7.30pm at [The Mitre](http://www.pubs.com/mitrw2.htm)**. Please tell me if you would rather it were something else - I promise not be offended/hate you for life. ---

The BM is only just off the (Covent Garden \> West End) beaten track so - for evening drinkies - the pubs tend to be relatively uncrowded but within a long stones throw (8-10 min’s walk). Another option in that part of the world is that hotel bars (of which there are several around the BM) tend to be less crowded during the day and have less stringent opening hours (probably not important as closing time is less rigid nowadays). FWIW, I’d say around the BM is a more central and varied area for a meeting but that Paddy’s is also okay. I’m easy - the above is just for general information. ---

Holborn and that bit to the east of Covent Garden is all bars and things now (Sway, Freud’s, the Bierodrome, Retox, the Road House, Fine Line etc).
