British Apolytoners Meeting - End Of July

[Ecthy]

4 hours? Been there, done that

[Provost Harrison]

The pub I met in (the boiling hot summers day with Starchild and Victor there) was definitely on Charing Cross Road...

[Provost Harrison]

Are you saying there's something wrong with one of my witty and highly entertaining monologues?

Your sentence should you attend is four hours talking to Provost Harrison...

Feh! That's the easy part. The hard part is finding my way there and back ( with hopefully the odd pint inbetween ) on practically nothing in the way of money.

Any idea if they... uh... check for ID if there are any doubts about your age *whistles innocently*

[*End Is Forever*]

Depends how old you look... and whether or not you ask for a napkin...

How are you getting down? It's a hell of a long way from Uddingston to Leicester Square.

Rich - now I think about it I think it has entrances on both sides.

Whenever EiF posts I think it's PH posting.

Welcome to 200+.

[Provost Harrison]

The problem is Andy, so do I!

Uddingston?

Plane or train, whichever would be cheaper I guess. And then brave the underground. Done it before, can do it again.

The question is can I do it 'within budget' hmmm....

[*End Is Forever*]

Nearest tube station to the Moon Under Water is actually Leicester Square...

[Faboba]

This may sound naive but isn't Charing Cross station on Charing Cross Road?

[*End Is Forever*]

Umm, isn't that £18.60 + the flight cost?

[*End Is Forever*]

Charing Cross Road is one big mother****er of a road, I think.

No. The trains are 1.60 each way and the flight is £17 return. So that makes it £20.20. I'm sure I can scrounge thirty or forty together easily enough...

[*End Is Forever*]

No...

Glasgow Prestwick has negotiated the special fare of only £17 return for the Express Rail Link from London Stansted Airport to London (Liverpool Street Station)

That means it's £17 from Stansted to Liverpool Street and back. Now how much is your flight?
