Apologies for not making it Thursday and for not getting in-touch to let anyone know - sorry for not replying to your PM Hemdale.
As always a job landed with a quick turn around for the Friday afternoon.
Hope the evening went well and gutted to miss it (not sure how regularly the London meets are?) + especially to not meet you all in person.
I'll put my out of office on next time!

No problem craftyLDN. There is always next time. It was a good night. See you at London pub meet 11 hopefully.
Sorry I haven't made it to the last few meets, but just wondering if any of you have been listening to Tony Robinson on Radio 4 reading about the history of our favorite drinking hole The George. iPlayer link to episode 1...

Pete Brown's history of pubs as seen through the story of one remarkable London inn, the George in Southwark, said to be the one-time local of Chaucer, Dickens and Shakespeare.
The George Inn is one of the few remaining galleried coaching inns, and lies a few minutes' walk from the Thames. 'Shakespeare's Local' takes us on a literary pub crawl through the history of this pub, from its regulars - the watermen, merchants, actors, craftsmen, writers and coachdrivers - as well as the many incarnations of the pub itself - from lawless Southwark tavern to coaching inn, theatre pub to Victorian drinking den, unfashionable boozer to tourist attraction.
This isn't only a history of half a century of pubs and drinking, but also a paean to the importance of the now declining pub to British society.

Hi David. Did hear the broadcast. Might be a good read. Will look out for it. We will probably sort out London Pub Meet 11 in January.
Two sided waterstone for £14 all in I mentioned last time. Though it's £16 now. Haven't used one so can't vouch for how good they are.
