Those kindly people at the DVLA have kindly sent me a little money that I'd completely forgotten about.
My plan is to drive down and watch some football on the way (Indian Gymkhana v Sutton Common Rovers). I've not missed a Saturday since the opening day of the season, courtesy of poor scheduling by the Conference who thought it would be a good idea to put it on the same day as a boating festival.
I expect to be arriving at the pub sometime after 6pm and look forward to meeting a few familiar and a few not so familiar faces down there. Sorry I can't join in the drinking this time.
Incidentally, who is flying in this time?

Water rat is nice and chilled, Not too dear either.
But hey... what's 5 quid more or less. Sure. The Water rat.
So, that's 18:30 at the Water-rat, which is somewhere near the hostel I'm supposed to be staying at. Sounds like at least 50% of a plan!

I have no idea about the area, so i can't be part of the place finding process, but a pay in place so early sounds like we'll be stuck there for the night....and a guy got to eat.

The Water Rats is a bad idea, it will be crammed on a Friday and it costs to get in. Plus the bands are so bloody loud we'll be shouting 'WHAT?' all night and the beer's really overpriced. There's got to be a better pub.

My name's Huck, and i'm an intelligent drinker. It started innocently enough, a friend said.."Do you want a packet of crisps with that ? "
Is there a pub near Kings cross station we could all start off in ? I will have a good feed before we meet, so as not to spoil your flow, i promise.
