Just wanted to chime in and thank Dan (Spuds) for arranging this, welcoming another TRF-er, and make my intro on this thread in case I can make it!

I am flying over to London tonight. As I'm working, I will be staying out near London Gatwick and will have to train it. I am trying to figure out how to manage the jet lag and make this count. Thinking I will try to make the Friday evening QP Salon (18-21, anyone planning on this time let me know!)....Do a day trip on SAT and wind up at the Dickens Inn that afternoon around 16-1800...What time do you all think the Dickens Inn event will start?

I will check in again tomorrow morning when I arrive. Thanks and Cheers to all!

Hey Paul!

Would be good to see you there..

I think most will be going to the Dickens Inn at 3:00-3:30 and leaving at around 8:00-8:30 for the evening meal at "The Living Room"

Salon QP onto OneHP then the Dickens would be my preference too to be honest but.....

Dino mate do you literally mean "won't be ABLE" to or "I'd rather not" or "My ticket's only good for Friday"?......

If it's a ticket-issue thing I'm pretty sure I've gotta couple of free tickets arriving tomorrow & you're more than welcome to one of 'em!

& obviously yo'd get to blag two lotsa freebies too!

yup.

spot on Dino mate spot on!

DiamondJack · 11 November 2011, 09:22 AM

Nice one Dan.... Yes something like that ...

Or more probably the most annoying customer who continually tries on everything and grills them to death on every aspect of originality and then buys elsewhere .......

Cos they're waaaaaay too expensive

In relation to Sat, QP at the Saatchi Gallery is down the King's Rd (nearest tube Sloane Sq.) For you, from the hotel a simple journey of say 20mins from Tower Hill tube on circle or district line (basically anything going west bound). Much quicker than a taxi on Sat. It opens at 12 and is £20 on the door if you can't get freebies.

OneHP is a quick taxi ride away or two stops (one change at South Ken) on the tube.

What time are you thinking of getting there ? I am going to aim for 12 to get a chance to have a browse around. But can meet you when you arrive if we pm each other with mobiles etc although I doubt I'm not going to spot you Dan irrespective of the crowds

But let me know. So Dino, if you will have been to QP on Friday, are you going to meet us at OneHP ?

esm · 11 November 2011, 09:25 AM

OneHP?

Ahhh.... Gotcha.

A little birdie told me that the sales ladies are quite nice there..

Btw - the new watch room has apparently completed at Harrods... Probably worth a visit?!?

Sounds like a fully packed day, enjoy it guys

StefanoA · 11 November 2011, 10:13 AM

Ahhh screw it. I won't go to the strip club next week. When/where are you guys meeting to go to the shops etc?

Screw it! I'll meet you and Paul at the tower bridge in the morning tomorrow at around 11:30-12:00 if its ok with you Dan? And come along to SQP twice..

If you can blag a free ticket for me that would be great! If not, I'll just pay on the door

I'll be of TRF now becuase I'm heading down to London this morning. If you could let me know the final plan on text Dan mate, that would be brill!

hemdale · 11 November 2011, 09:03 PM

Can't wait to meet you guys.

I'll be at the Dickens Inn. Is 3:30pm still the correct time ?

316lad · 12 November 2011, 12:12 AM

Hi guys,

I'm expecting to be in London this Saturday - working all day in the West End but finishing around 5 ish - thought I might come along for a jar or 10 before heading back home.

Where do you reckon you'll all be around 5:30 - 6:00? Dickens by then?

Hi James

We'll definitely still be in the Dickens at that time.....

Whether you will get any sense out of us is a different matter

Look forward to meeting you.
