    HTH.
    No doubt they've been here in my local every week for the last five years. As I've been out of the country almost every week for the last 5 years then I reckon we have some form of Status Quo! (Three across, band who sung about soldiers in the 80s)

    Does killing them off in a Fish Called Wanda style series of disasters really qualify as outlasting them though?

    Well blow me down. Every time in the last few years when I pop in the group is always there. In a conversation with some regulars who were leaving they said to the barmen, "you'll be busy in a minute the Times Crossword group will be in", to whit the barmen says 'I know it's weird. They've been coming to the pub every Sunday for 20(!!!!) years, you'd think by now they would have finished it'

    The N word was placed on the filter for specific reasons. Too many posts about Snorkeling, IIRC.

    Now come on. Trying to evade the filter has to get you spanked. Assuming this is a banned word... but if the N work is surely the T word should be?

    Child neglect isn't an excuse!

    It's maybe just a teenie weenie bit sad that you are in there at the same time on a Sunday each week to notice that they are there at the same time.
    Try going at different times to meet different people, and of course to change the Sunday night routine same time visit to the pub
