Default London Buses - Why do I bother?

Not sure there's any sort of procedure for here. In another group I
frequent the "organiser" simply starts a new thread and states a date,
time and venue and people can either turn up or they can't. To try to
cater for the wide range of opinions and options is impossible for the
"organiser" to deal with. Alternatively you can request suggestions but
you'll ultimately need to make a ruling to curtail the almost inevitable
"debate".

In answer to your other question I would like to meet a few of the other
"faces" in utl so tentatively I'm in.

Suggestions for a venue are The Doric Arch at Euston (formerly the Head
of Steam) - never been in it myself but well located or the Jugged Hare
on Vauxhall Bridge Road - 5 mins from Victoria. Not too busy but decent
enough beer and food. They will cordon off an area for a group if
requested. Both suggestions are Fullers Pubs which may not be to
everyone's taste but they are reasonably located for bus, tube and rail
links.


I'm with Mr. C. here, both in that I'll turn up (if shifts allow) and
the two pubs he recommends; I have used both of them and they're
perfectly fine.


If any of this could reasonably fit in with my time in London you could
count me in no trouble! (Don't know the Jugged Hare but the Head of
Steam is fine.)
