This Real Life Meetings section has taken on a strong international flavour lately (or should I say flavor?). Great for all you US, Canadian & continental folk. But what about us Brits?

It's time for someone to sort out another UK mini-meet, I reckon.

C'mon guys - let's get posting our ideas / suggestions / requests / thoughts / hopes / dreams, etc. for the next venue and hopefully someone will pick up the ball and start running with it!

Dr. Shoe

You know me... someone suggest somewhere and I'm there...

Anyone fancy The Summer Sales at Bluewater?

I be up for a meet at bluewater. Since the other meet at Bluewater didn't happen

fastfreddy2

Was there yesterday, where were you lot?



Recently been to Cambridge, Reading, Woking, Bicester and Bluewater, all in heels. House of Fraser at Bluewater [home of many Kurt Geiger, Carvela and Nine West shoes] had a "20% off Brands" sale Friday and today....


I'm at Milton Keynes this Sunday. (Tomorrow.) Coffee anyone?


High Wycombe is on "the list" to visit too. Apparently they have a HUGE M+S ..... which is always a good sign.


While Bicester might be able to offer Dior shoes discounted to £438, Bluewater is still my favourite shoe shopping venue.

What time you in MK? I'll see if I can escape the madness at home for a while.

My plan is to be there for all of the shopping hours the place is open, which on Sunday is 11am-5pm. I'm notoriously useless at being anywhere on time, so that may well equate to midday-5pm. I'm usually thrown out of the last shop to close .... And I will need a coffee to get me home, so I imagine we'll be at Costa until 6pm. I can find time for a mid-shop coffee any time in-between if you can make time?


I'd be happy to collect Euchrid from a train/bus station if he's interested, but he's failed to take up the offer of a shopping trip to date. Might be my after-shave? I've had a hair cut, so look a bit smarter now. Maybe that'll influence him?

Actually, I think he's only allowed out on Saturdays?

I'm also in MK tomorrow actually.
Would be excellent to grab a coffee with you (either or both of you!) but not sure if it will be logistically feasible:-

My wife is doing the Race for Life thing at Campbell Park (starts at 11:00).
When the 'Race' is underway, I shall be doing a quick shop with my daughter then meeting up with the missus again for a bit of family shopping & a Muck-Donalds lunch before heading off. This has all been planned (by her indoors) for months so any change of plans suggestions on my part will most likely result in two items precious to me being removed with rusty pruning shears.

Fastfreddy2 - I have your mobile no. & will call or text if a window of opportunity should show itself. Will also 'keep em peeled' for you as I wander about the place.

I'm still very much up for it in respect of a proper shopping trip.
a lack of free time at weekends + school half-term hols + a backlog at work has been putting it on hold thus far.
<actually, I like the scent of Old Spice very much! >

fastfreddy2

You've remembered the wrong after-shave. Who wore Old Spice for you?


I'll be mooching around the place for most of the day. If you can meet up for 10 minutes, that'll be 10 minutes more than nothing. We could do a secret hand-shake outside MuckD's if it's in the main shopping area?

Me saying I want to abscond myself won't be any more welcome than you proposing it. But these things ought to be done, especially since all three of us will be within a couple of miles of each other at the same time.

No pressure like ......

Managed to meet up with fastfreddie, and it was worth the effort. If a shyguy like me can get out and meet others then anyone can. It wasn't a heel meet as such (I wasn't in heels but FF was) but it's great to put a face to a name and see the person behind the posts, as personality doesn't come through on the boards.
I hope to meet some others from these boards in the future too, maybe one day I'll even manage to do a meeting in heels too.

I was there too (sort of)!

I was stood standing outside Waitrose for 60+ minutes waiting for Fastfreddy's to park up & call me back. After that, I assumed the coffee had been aborted due to lack of shopping hours left...? obviously got that wrong.

oh well, next time perhaps?
