Have just realised that I probably won't be able to come on Friday as I'm going to Epsom ladies day. Alternatively, this could mean that I turn up plastered in a frock and dodgy hat. :-S


Hmmm - why does the Vale have to be on the way home from the train station.

Drinking

And Talking


Lots of both


Some of the talking is regretted the next day ;-)


This time, as it's at the Vale, I believe more than a few people are looking to "cut a rug" at some point but I'm not sure what the music is like on Friday's there.


Usually get 2-5 first timers show up at each drink so you shouldn't feel exposed. With any luck the weather will improve and we can sit outside in the back garden

I am starting my "week" tomorrow but intending to take time out fro Friday!

technically cheating MM but any discussion on THAT experiment should be confined to the relevant thread methinks - look forward to seeing you Friday (although I fully intent to take you up on the drink offer, it shan't be a Guinness - heavens no. I may dress that way sometimes but never touch the stuff)
I'm hoping to be there. At the moment spending my time lurching between horrible home situation (sharing, at my age should know better, desperate to find somewhere civilised to live) and horrible work situation. Will probably be lousy company but hopefully will help take my mind off both of them.

I've mentioned before that I won't be there but I have suddenly had a thought.


All these threads about pulling, d**ks and M*****S, I am wondering if the forum is getting into a Vale frame of mind. We are such social chameleons!

I'm looking forward to seeing pics of AnnaJ swinging a Barcardi Breezer bottle and screaming "I'll 'ave yeh".



obviously this is not a fair reprsentation of the Vale, its clientele or indeed AnnaJ...well, perhaps AnnaJ

Well I feel that the highbrow nature of the conversation lately is certainly reflected in the choice of venue.


I am also relying on the fact that as we have not yet reached a point where sarcasm needs to be explained I will be spared a lynching this Friday.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
