missot

Hi all...

I have been laughing at your threads and even though I'm not from croydon, i wondered if I could please come and join you for dinner on 19th?

nursemakeyouwell

The more the merrier! Mrs Live to ski, is this possible, what will we do with the reservation if we keep attracting more poeple like this!!!!!

Can I be Jordan, by the way, when we are changing our names to famous croydonians

nursemakeyouwell

Now I know why I married him, not just a fountain of knowledge, but so wise with it........

live to ski

Rumor has it, Dane went to Trinty - I wonder whether they put that in their propectus!



Missot - thanks for the PM, of course you can come! If I remember rightly from other threads, you will have just arrived on BUANC??? So we're up to 15 now. But I'll confirm number nearer the time.



Very true Mr NMYW. I moved to Manchester as soon as I could. My grandmother - also Sanderstead - was VERY worried about such a move! And my parents still don't know that I lived in Moss Side when I was there. Then a brief stint in the 2nd dodgist neighbourhood in Leeds (Woodhouse), where I hooked up with Mr L2S - a northerner no less!

Whereas you have gone the other extreme - New Addington to Tonbridge!

live to ski

BTW - Mr L2S are I aren't married, so I'm not actually Mrs L2S, rather Miss / Ms L2S, which probably means that he isn't techincally Mr L2S but never mind.

He goes a bit pale, with a thin film of sweat on his forehead and clammy hands when "wedding" is mentioned. He claims that he does actually want to be married, but it is the thought of the actual wedding at All Saints Church at the top of Sanderstead Hill by the round-about, plus the reception at either Selsdon Park or Addington Palace that puts the fear of God into him!

(I'm an only daughter of an only daughter, so the wedding has been planned by both my mother and grandmother since a week after I was born)

nursemakeyouwell

your problem is you're thinking too up market! a real croydon gal would get married in Croydon registry office, and have the reception at the blue orchid. (still a really classy joint!) You can, sadly, no longer have your reception at the highly sought after venue of New Addington's finest - the cunningham, as it is no more!!

live to ski

I forgot to ask...where are you from Missot?

live to ski

I'm cringing at the thought. I would need to be at leat 8 months pregnant, still having a white wedding at a registry office, with my 3 illigimate children form 3 or 4 different fathers some of which were previous relationships others weren't (the father of one child is still unknown hence the 3 or 4 option!) being bridesmaids and pageboys.

Oh the good old Blue Orchid. I have rather hazy memories of GCSE results night in there in 1997.

Still beats the Metropole in Purley for class. Those were the days when I went to the under 18's night there on a Wednesday, and over 18's on a Friday! I've heard that it is now a Fitness First.

nursemakeyouwell

Ah such fond memories! You wouldn't want to go there now without a body guard!!

I have just realised how far from the original thread we have come It is no longer a "true taste of vancouver", but now "a true taste of croydon"!!!!


Vancouver is now all the richer from having inherited some saaaarf london!

missot

hey live to ski - cheers for that - i'll look forward to meeting you all You're right, I arrive on wednesday 17th Oct on BUNAC. I'm Hertfordshire born and bred but live in Northampton at the mo (not for much longer, hey?!)

JonboyE

True enough, but can we please leave the Blue Orchid back in Croydon.

Please.






Pretty please.

live to ski

OK Croydonians.

We are nearly there. I have just come across another family of 4 on Brits2Vancouver who want to come so just waiting for them to confirm.

If I don't hear back from anyone saying that they can't now come (or are prefering to have meatballs at Ikea to reminise about the Purley Way) I'll confirm our table with Whitespot tomorrow (Friday 19th) at 12 noon.

So Basil and Sybil Fawlty are expecting:

4 x NMYW
2 x Live to Ski
1 x JonBoyE
1 x RobSki
4 x Mayfly
1 x missot
2 x TWs for a quick drink

Mayfly

We wont be able to make it. There arent enough hours in the day for all the stuff we have to organise after just landing. Hopefully we will make the next one.
