Looking forward to it MrBen -promise not to bring any PR girls, consultants or other upwardly-mobile types with posh clothes!

I just spoke to a really lovely chap at the rye - they haven't confirmed the price of 'black tie at the rye' yet this year but it sounds promising.

thanks for feedback everyone - I love the idea of black tie SeanMacGabhann and will look into it more. James, I am a little worried that you are so prejudiced about people from Clapham, especially having just read your comments on the jojomamanbebe thread. Surely a cool veggie, japanese, straight-friendly, gay-friendly open-minded kind of guy like you would welcome the diversity that people different to you bring to the neighbourhood? ;-)

Does anyone know of any plans on Lorship Lane or nearby for new year? I'd like to find a bar or restaurant with a limited number of tickets so it's not too crowded to lure my friends away from Clapham....any suggestions?'s
