re: Party at the Scotland Yard - 26th September
Been meaning to start this thread for awhile but am being supremely lazy about it.
When might work for a September get-together? The last one in June was awesome, both I and Mr Schnooks had a great time.
Novo, when are you back from baguette-land?
I was thinking one of the Fridays in September - 12th, 19th, 26th?
(Personal preference for NOT the 19th, either of the other two is fine!)

Alrighty, why don't we go with the 26th for now then?
Same general time/place works for us as well!
(And perhaps Dear Siouxie can add "26th" to the title? <3 )

Where is the Scotland Yard? And is it a nice place for the over 40s?

I should say so. It's fairly civilized since dbd33 stopped bringing his brother (apparently). Anyway, we're not a ageist group (or I wouldn't be there).
As to the where, it's on the Esplanade easy walking from Union Station.
I believe Mr. Google has a primitive mapping service for this sort of thing.
<see you on the 26th>

It's a pub on The Esplanade - Scotland Yard | Scotland Yard
Maybe a 10 minute walk from Union Station.
Over 40s? Totally not a problem. I think you are underestimating the average age of people on this board. :P

Re: Party at the Scotland Yard - 26th September
OK, so I have found it on google maps and kind of get where it is...
As for the question re over 40s, there is a facebook page for Brits in Toronto and it's all about the kiddies, I feel like a geriatric!!!
So do people tend to stay late? Hubby doesn't know from one week to the next what days he is working (dontcha just love hospitality?) and so we might be late-ish getting there... but would love to come...
It will be very strange actually meeting you guys in the flesh so please come dressed as your avatars so I can recognize you all!! lol

I Think the May meetup turned into a bit of a session complete with wine hangovers... the June one was a bit more relaxed, I think we caught an 11ish train out of Union. So it could go either way.
Paul_Shepherd, are you trekking down from Peterborough again?!

So Novo has to come in a beret with some baguettes... JG has already proven she can dance like her mouse... I suppose I can wear Canada gear... JamesM will just have to be covered in pints... and I fully expect Siouxie to turn up in warrior ninja kevlar. You obviously have to be wearing a dog suit.

Shame really.
I'll bring my moustache though.
