Christmas Meal

How dare you Teetime you will get a lifetime ban!! A lot of people haven't even had their summer hols yet

That is a lovely idea Teetime pity we are too far away.

What a good idea Teetime.I am wondering if we could adopt this idea for our local Gransnetters. We could go on a weekday if that suited better .I'll sound it out with others.

I couldn't resist google and it looks good with a good GF selection

Great idea, Teetime. Sorry I'm a long way away. Will it be like an office party, with a photocopier and everyone so drunk they daren't go to work next Monday? Oh no, I see it's a nice civilised lunch out!

I'd love to come along, given that the S.O. and I are complete billynomates at Christmas these days [hope that doesn't put other people off joining in; we're not THAT boring #atleastidon'tthinkthatweare ].

Shame. Nottingham too far away for this southerner. I note the southerners don't seem to want to do social get togethers. Pity. Could suggest it but don't fancy being Norma No Mates.

You do know that every time someone mentions the C word before December Santa kills a baby reindeer!!

If it is my post you are puzzled by Greenfinch I just googled the menu at Jaimie's Italian and I found it very interesting with a good gluten free selection for those who can't take gluten.

A bit violent sunseeker! I may not sleep tonight.

Thanks annsixty.I've not come across the abbreviation GF before.

Bellanonna.How far south are you? We have regular meet-ups in Berkshire.

South of London but I guess Berks would be doable? Always nice to join a meet- up.

We will keep you posted.

Thanks

What a lovely idea. Too far away for this south-westerner, sadly .

There are quite a few of my ex colleagues who, like me, have left or retired in the last 7 or 8 years and we all meet up for lunch once a month, and then have a Christmas meal in mid December too. The camera club I belong to also arranges a Christmas meal, as does another local photography group.

So all in all, I guess I'm quite lucky, as I don't actually miss the work Christmas do at all

What a great idea- and hope you really enjoy it...

but I absolutely and totally refuse to even think about Christmas....

IN AUGUST

We have a post panto meal on last night so it's always very lively! Always up for another meal out though!

And, talk of C*******s is forbidden in our house until after the street fair! Although I did buy some of those special cards from a NT shop the other day. I've put them in the blanket box/dh's side table - can someone please remind me!

Nice responses so far. PS I'm a Southerner in exile in the East Midlands. I think we could have a Gransnet Xmas meal couldn't we. Now I have a Railcard I could come South.

A Gransnet Christmas meal would be great. If we organised something in London or just outside we might possibly get a few takers.

Hi Greenwich I'd do my best to attend.
