Quick lunch in the city - April 23rd

[shelleyb]

There is a meet-up on Weds 23rd april at 12:30 outside The Old Monk pub (on the corner of Bishopsgate and Camomile St). This started on the "Breakfast in the city" thread, but as we have moved on to lunchtime I thought I'd start a new thread. Anyone else interested ?
It doesn't have to be a long session as I know a lot of us in the city only take short, or even no lunch breaks but if we meet in a pub those in a hurry can just have a quick drink and there is food for anyone that wants to stay away from their desks longer.

that would be ok for me..

Shelleyb, I can't make the 23rd as I'm taking ds to the dentist. Hope to make it to one of the future meets

Would have loved to join you but as I have a virtually non-existant lunch break as have to leave on time to collect dd from nursery, I won't have time to get over there and back. Anyone free sometime to meet at the Starbucks on Appold St?

23rd is fine with me too

Appold St is actually better for me..

Metrobaby, could you make Appold St ?

Metrobaby, could you make Appold St ?

OK - the longer walk will do me good !

OK - the longer walk will do me good !

There's a definite echo in here

OK, new venue is Starbucks on Appold Street 12:30 weds 23rd. So far there is me, metrobaby, mollymay and flippa. That's double the last turnout !! Anyone else ?

I will be there (as long as my ds doesn't attempt to take a sicky from nursery again!!).

so sorry but won't be able to make tomorrow now...perhaps another time...have one for me!

Whereabouts are we going to meet? Outside Starbucks? So you can identify me, I have a blue cardigan on and black trousers on!

I'm wearing pink blouse, black trousers, black jacket and have shoulder length black hair. Sorry - no identifying large blue rucksack this time !!!

I'm wearing black trousers and black long waistcoat with orange t-shirt underneath. Looking forward to seeing you again metrobaby and looking forward to meeting you Flippa. See you at 12:30 outside front of Starbucks. It looks like it'll be nice enough to sit outside at lunchtime.

Looking forward to it too - unfortunately will not be able to stay long.

It was great meeting you Flippa, and seeing you again Metrobaby. As discussed will arrange one of these once a month so we can get together again. Will start a new thread for a monthly meet - see "Quick lunch in the city - Monthly Meet-up"
And Flippa, have checked all my cupboards twice, but can't find that machine, sorry.

Thanks for checking, Shelleyb - will probably scoot off to Boots to get one anyway.
It was great to meet you both and look forward to the next meeting. We had far too much to chat about to fit into one hour!!!
