Very sorry to hear that, mate. Those kicks hurt, even if you know they are coming.
I won't be in the Yard but I'll tip a virtual glass.

Re: Party at the Scotland Yard - 26th September
Sadly, I will not be able to make it either. I'm in England dealing with funeral arrangements for my father, who died last Friday. Not unexpectedly, and after a long and progressive illness, but still "that phonecall" is a kick in the guts when it comes. Have one for me, if you would, on Friday evening.

Okee, reservation made for 6-630ish for 13 people, under my name. (PM if you don't know it.)
I'm aiming to get there probably closer to 6 than 6:30.... might be a bit earlier, depending which train I get and how my day goes, if anyone wants to get together beforehand, or just generally head over there early-ish!
Looking forward to it!

Condolences to you and your family Oakvillian. I hope the final farewell goes well and the weather is kind for you all.

I work round the corner so will probably be in the area having a couple of warm up drinks.
I don't know your name but I'm assuming the reservation is in the library area so I'll find you.

Re: Party at the Scotland Yard - 26th September
We won't be there until prob 8pm as we have to come down all the way from Alliston... Is the library an obvious place to find? I get intimidated in situations like this and need to feel as much in control as possible

As you walk into the pub, the library is straight ahead and off to the left, up a couple of steps, I think

Yes, that's where it is (unless it got moved; I haven't been there for a few years).
