Back to the original topic , whenever we have a Worcestshire Meet-up, which is about every 2 months, we always use MN names - I don't think I can even remember the real names, even though I've met everyone several times.

It does get embarrassing when you have to ring the pub to leave a message if you're late though!

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 05/04/2008 12:41

Hoxton,

Generally in Pizza Express off Harley Street, they have a huge table at the back of the restaurant that will be forever in my mind the MN table.
