Hi Chick,


Just want to check a few details for tomorrow.


Its at the Blake room at The Clockhouse pub (Barry Road?) tomorrow, to discuss Lorrie Moore's The Gate at the Stairs. (There was a mention of Who will run the frog hospital - which is a favourite of mine - but think this is for Radio 4?).


What time do you meet? Have read back through posts, but couldn't see anything - sorry!


Thanks!

Hi Duvet,


Sorry it?s in the Clockhouse upstairs in the Blake room which has a nice view across the Rye. 8.00pmish.


Yes it?s The Gate at the Stairs and the Frog Hospital is the radio 4 book club which you can come to if you like but I would have to get your name on soon.


All the best and look forward to meeting you.


Cheers Chick

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
