People are tending not to respond the thread but just turn up. The start of the drinks proper will be 8ish onwards, but people can gather earlier if they wish to do so as its a Saturday, it might be sunny and the Herne has a nice garden.

Im with you on this.. We will probably get down there for say 2- 3 but then wont be hanging around for the night time do.. Of course I need to confirm this with Jaws but I know she will want either to do the day or the night but prob not both x

Err no it's not.


Anyway yes the drinks are a week on Saturday. I have asked the Herne to reserve the conservatory (incase it's raining) but they won't keep it reserved all day as they get very busy, and we can't say how many forumites will turn up. So it will probably be reserved from 7pm but I will let you know. During the day we will have to find space, hopefully outside.

As someone who's never been to one of these things before, how do you all know who the other people are? Do you wear badges with your usernames on? Or do you just go up to random strangers in the pub and announce, "I'm PinkyB, who are you?" I can imagine if you picked the wrong person that might not go down too well.


Oh, and I really wish it wasn't the Herne Tavern. Most expensive pub food in the world and no cider on tap, so a hugely expensive evening out for me. ?4.50 for one of those stupid massive bottles of organic cider, which is my only option apart from soft drinks as a non- beer drinker. ?4.50! They're having a laugh, aren't they?

Have confirmed with Jaws we will be attending the day part so will probably get there between 2 - 3.. x


PinkyB - it is a bit hard on your first one, I just had to walk up to a random group of strangers as there are no badges or anything, depending on what time you are going to be there you might be able to get a number off someone (I wont be there for the night time bit).

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.

This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.
