I have had a fortunate life. Sixteen years ago, I happened to be in the same Room as the wonderful Tim Garland. I was much slimmer and darker in those days ! The Pheasantry, King's Road, Chelsea.

I recall the Westminster portcullis on the front door. The taxi cafe car-park was used as a holding-bay for the deceased during Covid. Tragic. I recall the Southwark Coroner, Montague Levine (Tennis Street SE1) was a bit a character :)

Was there a Postage Stamp in this style in the late 60s / 70s ?

Do you have a thick culinary journal / potential memoire ?

Where is that? Last evening I was in the Mitre in Barnet. One of the last Inns on that 'drag'. My first local for a beer for three months !

So kind. Thank you. I must be locally in Barnet for Brunch on Friday. Go well. I picked this some years ago :)

I recall that very evening, by association. Small world :)

I loved cutting quill pens when I was a kid. I used to sign royal proclamations for my mother to inspect !! Yes, I had feathers, natch !

LoL. Did you attend Common Hall at Michaelmas for the election of the LM ? I couldn't be there (was demolishing a shed !).

Sadly, I will not be able to attend this morning's election of the Lord Mayor at Common Hall at Guildhall in the City of London. With such short notice of Alderman Tim Hailes' decision to stand-down, this will be a very 'interesting' meeting of voters. I wish Tim Hailes well.

Perhaps some time in 2027? Parish Clerks' All Hallows Court Service and Dinner in a couple of weeks at Tallow Chandlers' Hall. Apart from last week's Aldgate Ward Club at Guildhall Crypts (with the Lady Mayor!), I'm keeping a (relatively!) low profile LoL. Speech is 90%, but It's so B frustrating

Good morning, Mark @markannand.eurosky.social & thank you. Yes, it is remarkable to think that there's a river running under one's feet in that area. Not far from where Harold Steggles took his view of "Warner Street" in 1935, one can hear the River Fleet running underground through a drain grid.

Bass was a feature of the Lamb Tavern in Leadenhall Market in the City of London when the pub was a Free House until c1990, when I was bought by Young's. Happy days.

I have a very good friend from Solihull; was at S School and ChCh Oxford. He hasn't a jot of Brum accent. He mustn't have not known any of the War Memorial kids. Regions, Culture and Accents, eh ?

After two years, one of my Drum Kits (the small one) has been moved from my 'Arthur Daley' lock-up, to our house. A wonderful domestic development ! The 'woodshed' is GO!
