Sounds like you want to be a martyr to
the cause?
This is of course okay if you are alone, but in a group, surely you do what the group does? Or maybe next time, if you want to
show off your heels, we'll follow at a discreet distance?

In the bit I quote above 1st paragraph, and purely frojm my own perspective, I find it difficult to make space to attend such meets. Weekends and evenings are inevitably out of the question, and doing the shopping thing doesn't interest me. Doesn't leave much. I have been to a coule of meets for the lunchtime social where it was localish to work, and I have met with a couple of the members just for lunch and once for a beer after work in Covent Garden and that was exceedingly pleasant. Its about all I can manage timewise. Maybe this is one of the reasons why so many are unable to make it. I dunno, you would need to ask the question in a different thread I guess. |
Simon,
No offence taken sir!
As I've said before, I flatter myself we are very like minded. [Meaning, you are intelligent, and provide well-thought-out posts. I'd
like to think I do my bit too.
]
I'm surprisingly local to you (Cambridge) once a month, as I visit family in your area on a Sunday every 3 or 4 weeks. Next Sunday for example, I have been recruited (under duress) to take photographs at a family wedding in a hotel up by you.
Hence my 'hint' at a meet.
One or two here have proposed a mid-week, daytime meet. Oxford St and Covent Garden are all reachable on foot, even in heels. While "shopping" (which for me often excludes spending money) may be the UK's top recreational activity, I can understand why you might not enjoy it. That said, it makes for great exercise, especially wandering around huge malls like Milton Keynes. [Though I don't like the place much for anything other than walking.]
If you are up for a natter over a coffee in London, I would be too.
As for those who (as you say) haven't got time to attend a "meet", I'd propose a counter-position to that notion:
No-one on this planet should be so busy doing things they must/have to do, that they can't find <at least> 2 afternoons each year to meet their otherwise 'virtual' friends F-2-F. If they are
actually that busy, (as opposed to being poor time-managers), I would seriously recommend a review of their lifestyle and their life expectancy? In a UK Prison, convicted in-mates are entitled to a minimum of 1 hour every 2 weeks for F-2-F visits, and Prisons are expected to provide
longer visiting periods than this minimum figure. Even that time equates to a little over 4 off, 6 hour periods each year.
As with all walks of life, I think per
haps there are those who would like to 'do' something adventuous, and thoe who prefer to be a spectator?
