at 12-12:30pm

We usually have a pint and a chat, then find a restaurant, have a meal, another pint and another, more chatting, then get on the train and try to get home!

If you're interested, make your interest known in this thread. You will be added to a private chat where we can all keep abreast of developments.

Hi Tony & Chris, it's good to see you guys kept the tradition going. It's been 10 years since I last saw you both in London. Would be nice to join, but it is a working day and it is quite hard for me to get a day off.

Look forward to a weekend or late evening catch up soon. Would definitely love to meet up.

Thanks
Paul

I'm afraid it's a bit far from New Orleans and besides, my wife has a club meeting at our house shortly a couple of days later. I will have to help with setup and such. Tell you what... when you hoist a pint, think of your USA friends - and others - who were too far away to make the trip.

Hi Paul - good to hear from you, sorry you can't make it. We'll have a chat about an evening/weekend get together, see if we can make it happen next year

Doc - we generally raise a glass to far away friends!

Caveat --- I don't want to be exposed to a Woke environment..... I couldn't handle it ... (With decorum)

 

[NauticalGent]

Who says decorum is necessary? Besides, the videos you have watched are cherry-picked to fit a narrative. I have yet to observe ANY of they "stuff" the rest of the world seems to think is commonplace here...

 

[NauticalGent]

So...how was the turn-out?

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

There were 3 of us , well when we started, towards the end I believe there was an increase in numbers, but that could have been the beer goggles...

Yes, I know, at least 50% of your population is dem and 50% trump .. err republican....

All the Americans I interact with on AWF are decent people, irrespective of their politics. ...

How many pints did you consume UG

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Ha!

 

[Isaac]

All right, good thing I didn't go to Reading, Pennsylvania, USA for this. After all, it appears on Google maps as a quiet smaller city a good safe distance from Philadelphia's hellscape.

Agreed! Slightly bigger country though, hard to find a mutually agreeable location.

That said, we're heading out your way in a week or so, maybe we can hook up there.
