Anybody up for a Wednesday night out in Leicester? It's my last working day of the year, so I could be tempted to walk down the hill into town for a few pints

Mebbe do something in Jan/Feb? Or next Christmas...

I’m with this. A freezing platform for hours will kill the mood I’m afraid.

So what's happening with this? Are we still doing the 7th, in stout defiance of the railway workers?

All of them have O/T bans, I don't know how that will impact EMT on the day.
