Chelsea Hospital Chapel.

Bring a little cheer to the Old Pensioners.

They could even sing your favorite hymns.

All for the price of a drink for each (that's only about 350 In Pensioners )


TEN OLD Soldiers ( Chelsea Pensioners)?


Ten Old Soldiers Parading for inspection in a line,

one forgot to put his boots on and then there were Nine.

Nine Old Soldiers sitting up talking very late,

one dropped off to sleep and then there were Eight.

Eight Old Soldiers went on a holiday to Devon,

one said he'd stay there and then there were Seven.

Seven Old Soldiers sparing with swordsticks,

one sliced himself in halves and then there were Six.

Six Old Soldiers dancing and twisting in the jive

one tied himself in knots and then there were Five.

Five Old Soldiers leaving through a revolving door,

one kept going back and then there were Four.

Four Old Soldiers went out on a shopping spree,

one did not get there in time and then there were Three.

Three Old Soldiers catching the train at Waterloo,

one could not get his kitbag in so now there is Two.

Two Old Soldiers sitting on the beach in the sun,

one got chatted up by a Dolly Bird and then there was One.

Just one Old Soldier left thinking what could be done,

he went and joined up again and there was none.

Hi SCSB,


Might be worth telling your friend to take a look at this page;


http://www.suzannejames.co.uk/venue-list.asp


I guess each person's idea of 'funky' will vary, and of course if they actually want to hold their civil ceremony at the venue it will need to be licensed - not sure all the above suggestions are, though that doesn't stop you holding your reception there (or getting married the day before 'officially' at registry office, then having unofficial 'ceremony' of your choice on the day itself at any venue - you can even get a guy who will act as a 'Phoney Bishop' (or not a Bishop, but any person of your choosing on the day) to oversee your personal 'vows'). Sue has his name and contact details.


I think a lot of the venues on her page are unusual, and not ones I new about previously - Wilton's Music Hall seems pretty cool to me, as is Perch Studios, and the Garden Museum with the right lighting.


Hope this helps.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
