A month or so ago, I posted that I was coming to London in a tour package, and was under the impression we were going to have a few open days after seeing some of the main sights. Whoops, I was misinformed. We’re only going to be in London a few days. [This site](http://www.globusjourneys.com/globus.aspx?section=vacations&content=itin&trip=4GE&extension=GEW) outlines the tour, and it looks like on the 3rd day we’re taking off for Wales, then looping up to Scotland and coming back to London on day 9. So that means the only London evenings available to me are days 2, 3 and 9, which are the dates of March 31, April 1, and April 7. You guys were planning on that Saturday night April 3rd. You up for doing a pub crawl on a Thursday or Wednesday night instead? Or, we could just hang out at one pub till you need to leave for the night. I don’t need to get totally shitfaced. 🙂 On day 2 & 3 of the tour we’re staying at Hilton London Metropole, and on day 9 we’ll be at Novotel London West. Then we fly back home on day 10. Tally ho! ---

Do take the river tour of London on Day 3. There’s lots to see. However, you won’t be missing anything by going boozing on Day 9. ---

any night aside from Fridays are good for me. most of the Londopers will be around I would imagine. i’ll let them know on saturday when we all go out. i’ll bump this on Monday if you like, once I find out, unless the usual suspects want to peg in now. ---

Bumpity. I’ll be in London from 30 March. I might tag along too, if you’ll tolerate a disorientated, jetlagged and confused Aussie. ---

Of those dates I could do the 7th. I’ll be very offended if you chose one of the others, 'cos I don’t get out very often. ---

Well if you don’t get out very often, why can’t you do the other dates? 🙂 Actually, 7th would probably be best for me, but I’m willing to take whatever is available. ---

> [@Knowed Out](#): > > Well if you don’t get out very often, why can’t you do the other dates? 🙂 Would if I could mate. I don’t actually live in London, so there’s a combination of needing time off work and child minding to sort out. The 7th falls within the Easter vacation, so both problems are solved pretty easily 🙂 Where will you be based that night? ---

I might be persuaded to pop down to London on the 7th… ---

That’s Hammersmith, I think. There are some nice pubs there, but I guess central is more convenient for most. ---

T-8 is no good to me … …However I will be in our fair capital, from Wednesday until Saturday afternoon, however as this is a University trip, we’ll be seeing shows every night, and my daytime schedule’s pretty tight as well… ---

Boompah Boompah Boompitiy Boo To recap, I will be at Novotel London West on April 7. Let’s crawl then. **paulbeserker** , who’s supposed to be planning this shindig, has been MIA. I know the man can drink a shitload, but this bender’s been going on for 2 weeks! Any news on his return **garius**? The last I’ll be able to check on the SDMB will be this Monday. You wouldn’t want to deny a visitor to your country a chance to get sloppy drunk at your fine pubs, would you? ---

You wouldn’t want to deny a visitor to your country a chance to get sloppy drunk at your fine pubs, would you? I brought it up over on the NADS board earlier. Paul says he’ll get in touch to sort things out. ---
