78 too many!!

I'm at The Dickens this weekend so although I've already reserved our usual 'balcony spot' I'll double-check that all's in order 'just in case'.

Gonna take a trip into Selfridges, One Hyde Park and Harrods too so hoping to check out a cLV, some two-tone Sports and the new models (as well as a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms if I can find one!)


Sooooooooo looking forward to this GTG just a shame that Dalip-The-Lightweight can't make it....

Guys

I have made a mistake on the hotel booking at the Tower, I booked the wrong date (dont ask, I was using my android phone at the time and clicked on the wrong weekend). Anyway I call to arrange to switch dates and they are full on the 17th!!!
So I managed to get a room at the Premiere Inn 5 mins up the road. Any other members looking to book late in the day, can I suggest using that option as the next closest hotel to the Dickens/Marina that will not require taxis etc etc.

Looking forward to meeting some new friends and catching up with some old ones too.

No I did get a refund, it was a stroke Of luck that called to arrange parking and they ran the booking ref and advised me of the date. Otherwise I would have arrived on the day without a room, and the thought of sharing a single room with you would be good test of our friendship!!!!
