Brum meet....

[Ally]

What time's your train due in, Kaz?

[Kaz]

The usual, just before noon. Sorry I booked the usual 12.30 table, not taking on board the later arrivals I’m sure I can change the booking easily enough

[Workingman]

Kaz, Ria and I will probably be the latest at 1pm ish so that might be a good booking time if a change is needed.

Keep it for that time Kaz and I'll meet you in there at 12.30.

We can have a cheeky catch up before the catch up.

[Workingman]

You two had better not be dissing us latecomers when you 'catch up'. I rang the OCs and promised to pay Selma 20 quid to listen in.

Also, Ria and I are origami black belts and not to be messed with. We can make lethal weapons out of a paper napkin with a few folds - you have been warned.

Heya, a swarm of wasps!

Behave!

[Kaz]

Frank, you ‘nana

Ok Ally, great

I’m still playing it by ear!
John can’t get the day off so I was going to come for a couple of hours BUT it looks like my spin dryer is eventually being delivered.

It arrived in Leicester last Thursday, Amazon were supposed to deliver it last Friday, then Saturday, Sunday it was lost, it was found on Monday, was in transit yesterday, then went to Redditch overnight via Westhoughton, Rochdale and St Helens. Next stop is scheduled to be the delivery depot at Stoke but I’m not sure what time yet that it’ll be delivered, and I don’t dare not be in and have it go off in it’s UK tour again.

Jeez Jo, that's quite an adventure for your dyer

My train is due to arrive 12.56 - that's the earliest I could make it as I have to come into the office first....; return is booked for 5.47
Frank, meet you at the usual place sort of outside boots / ticket office area?

[Workingman]

Bad news, Ria. There were local reports of possible delays at Derby due to the storm so I changed the time of my train.

My time would have been after 1pm so I thought it wise to get in earlier. It is now 12: 08.

Sorry.

[meriad]

No need to apologise at all Frank; makes total sense to do what you did - I'll see everyone at the pub around 1.15ish (if the train is on time!)
