UK CFC Meet '09 [fo' real this time]

[Dachs]

Can you guys remember to take and post an excessive amount of pictures?

 

[holy king]

I can't help wondering what will happen if I go up to someone drinking lemonade by himself, say "Are you Flying Pig?" and it's not you.

you either meet a cool person or end up in a fight.

 

[Plotinus]

Good point... You know that now I'm just going to do that to you anyway right?

I would have expected nothing less!

you either meet a cool person or end up in a fight.

These aren't mutually exclusive alternatives...

 

[nonconformist]

Orright lads, what says we start a member's group where we can post details?

 

[Mise]

Go on then

 

[Rik Meleet]

they don't let me in pubs

We'll try to get you in...

Why don't they let you in ? Is there an age limit in the UK for entering pubs and you are too young ?

 

[Furiey]

@tycoonist: They'll normally let you in to a pub, they just won't serve you alcohol. Some of the late night clubs may not let you in, but a pub usually will, you'll have to keep Flying Pig company on the lemonade.

@noncon: so where do we join this group thingy, or do we just pm you details as before?

 

[nonconformist]

I'll set it up tomorrow, so I dont mess it up

The usual age limit in British pubs is 14. Obviously you can't buy alcohol until you're 18.

In my experience the general standard is children are allowed in with an adult until 7 or so, esp in pubs that do food, and almost always if there is a garden. In theory from 14 a kid can have a half of beer if they are ordering a meal too, but I've never seen that happen. It's like dogs being allowed into a pub really - depends on the landlord and the area, but they'd better be on their best behaviour.

Where I live there's a pub where anyone under 18 can't be in the same room as the bar (mind you, you can buy guns there )

In my local dogs are far more welcome than children. Sometimes the dogs almost outnumber the people. Seems like the regulars treat their mutts better than their kids.
Then this is Cornwall. "Quare folk hereabouts, me handsome".

 

[Plotinus]

Personally I would prefer not to go into a pub that's got children or dogs in it (especially children). Actually, now I come to think about it, if it's got people in it that's pretty off-putting too.

 

[nonconformist]

Any mentions I was underage the first meet

I've noticed something similar in Devon. The pubs are full of lots of men with absurdly well trained dogs and a retired couple or two. The kids are presumably wherever the younger women are.

And you were downing a can of cider as well at 11am before the meet...

 

[Elrohir]

Have fun you guys! I want to see pictures of you all wandering around England, ridiculously drunk.

Ask if he's Swine Flu instead.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

At least one picture must be lamenting my non-appearance. I am deeply saddened I'm not able to come, particularly if Plot, Gin&Tonic, Rik and co. are there. I'll be there for the next one.

You're barely mature enough to be in a pub now!

Hang about... you live in Devon?

 

[GinandTonic]

Easy tiger, I live in London... No need for the tar and feathers. No need to bring the mob of peasants with the pitchforks and baying dogs to Starbucks
