Not too far from me either, and I'm very fond of La Famille Balmoral Vert. Might show face if the boss says I can go out

Get a pass out, it would be good to see you.

Looks like it will be quite a pub full on the 13th at this rate.

Mark, nice to have met you earlier, and a real bonus to meet a former colleague by surprise! It's a nice pub, and you keep your beer very well, Cheers Dave.

So we need to be there for say 12 noon ???

So about an hour to get there from Nottingham, need to sort out a meeting place at 10.30am for an 11.00am start then.

How about the access road outside Graypaul Ferrari in Nottingham? or Asda car park at West Bridgford? or Wheatcrofts Roses garden centre at Edwalton?

Route, pretty much the same regardless of start point...
