Fancy a pint? Thurdsay 17th Sept

[Pogle]

Myself and the lovely Zippy will be going for a small dry sherry (- or two) at the Ship & Shovel near the Embankent tube on Thursday 17th Sept around 6ish.
Feel free to pop along and discuss the finer points of condiment etiquette and the eroticisation of chocolate biscuits.

Why do you have to do these things on Thursdays when I'm stuck in the grim north?

[SallyAnne]

Can we discuss the pedestrianisation of Norwich City Centre?

Something wrong with you if you think London's grim in this weather.

cultured, civilised, sun-bathed

Probably best to do this before your drinks but why not take a walk east along the Embankment?

Over the course of about one mile you will see:

The Royal Festival Hall
The National Theatre
The OXO Tower
The Inns of Court
The ITV Headquarters!
St Paul's Cathedral
The Tate Modern
The Globe Theatre
The Tower of London
Tower Bridge

How can anyone not be inspired by the proximity of such culture.

"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
— Samuel Johnson

That does include the grimmest of the grim. City centre London in a hot spell is bloody awful.
