I'm not sure if I'll be turning up this time. I'd like to, but doubt I can at the moment.

Finances as much as anything. Not quite as great as I thought and need to save a bit of money. That being said I may still pop down briefly. Would have to drive, look for some street parking (as rhb suggested) and not drink though (which doesn't bother me at the moment, haven't touched a drop in a month).

Well do try and make it down, there's no reason why you can't do it on the cheap. I'd imagine the train would cut your costs significantly (unless you live miles away that is...) 🙂

I actually reckon it would be cheaper to drive. It's a round trip of 85 miles (which would be about £9 in fuel). Don't think the trains are that cheap, and it will take me a while to get to the station.

Fair enough. I think the meets general cabon footprint will be relatively low anyway, most people are coming by train. Having said that i think we might have a couple of people flying so that's right out the window. 😛

My car qualifies for the £35 road tax, so it isn't too bad anyway.

Just to confirm what rhb mentioned earlier.

No congestion charge on Saturdays (so I'm OK there)

Parking meters are on virtually every allowed area, but they are only controlled within certain hours, so if I find one which isn't within that time I'm perfectly free to park there without charge? Hence looking at St Johns Wood Road.

Not so sure. My grandmother was in charge of a bunch of women during the second world war. For a year she led them on a long trip around the circle line before discovering she could get them to their destination by going one stop in the other direction.
Just saw this and couldn't stop laughing, mostly because I know someone who's done that before.

And women are always going on about how well they could run the world if they were in charge...

Fool! Saturday! There's quite a nice pub opposite Ashlee House if you want to meet up for a few drinks on Friday?

Hey - I had a thought - does anybody play drinking games?
