	Yorkshire Apolyton meet? Suffering from ads?

OK, I have got provisional plans to be in Nottingham and Leeds on the weekend of the 24-25th November. I am wondering who would be available for an afternoon pub meet somewhere in Yorkshire on the Saturday or Sunday afternoon (i.e 12 onwards)?

York, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull? Anywhere with ...errr.. safe and easy parking would be the best.

Yep, sounds good to me. Any of those are acceptable. York or Hull first because Iain and Snapcase are there, Hull because I am there, Leeds because I can pick them both up via York and split the costs. Sheffield is the most awkward, because it isn't really near any of us.

I also recommend for Paul Hanson to look into this. If you can get as far as Hull, I can drive you the rest of the way...

Guess I shouldn't tease, being a yorkshireman myself (technically )

Seems a good idea. I may well be able to attend, but I cant be 100% certain, especially not at this point.

Well the offer is there Paul.

But you will all be made welcome if you decide to come to Hull though; I am sure you will figure something out...

My aunt is currently down from Sheffield (where most of my family lives). I'm Yorkshire born.

I'm sure you'll all be devastated to know I can't go to this meet, though.

So you are a queer Yorkshireman? I thought that was an oxymorom

I am sure he can't be arsed, but I don't intend to test that little theory

I would quite like Sheffield even though it's probably the most inconvenient of the lot. Although anywhere with a Wetherspoons is acceptable. So not York.

Does Leeds have JDW?

That is my preferred meeting point.

Before you get carried away with the idea that anywhere with a Wetherspoons is fine, bear in mind that Scunthorpe has one.

Aieeeee

It is funny how Scunthorpe has a population of 60 000 has a Wetherspoons yet York, a city with a population of 160 000 does not

York`s been consumed by Starbucks instead.

If you`ve ever seen that episode of the Simpsons where Bart goes to that mall where every single shop is a Starbucks, then you`ll have a pretty good idea of what York`s like.

I didn't say I live there, just near there.

Life is boring when all you have is pubs, however Bromley pubs are good for all the young women who frequent them. But then that isn't your bag is it RJ.

Usually I end up in crappy little pubs near Sevenoaks.
