Grasshopper Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm off to Chiswick brewery (Fullers) to buy 2 barrels of London pride. My excuse? I'm getting married on saturday.....:shake: (Once consumed, I plan to construct a raft using the empty barrels, and make good my escape).

N.O.S.

Grasshopper Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Thanks for your kind and humerous comments everybody. I'm sure Mike (bridal delivery manager) will be posting some pictures. I wanted an MV-free wedding, but she had other ideas, so we are using a Jimmy (complete with the famous pink sofa) as the bridal transport. The wedding is taking place at Trinity house in central london, right opposite the tower of london. Trinity house is responsible for all the lighthouses and various other maritime navigation aids in the UK, and has lots of cool artefacts and models in it. The ships bell from the (former) royal yacht Brittania is now on display in the top corridor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thats 2 barrels of beer, 20 bottles of champagne, 60 bottles of wine and several crates of lager i have to load into the landie tomorrow.

Snapper Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Right by Tower Hill tube station. Fantastic chandeliers in there, untouched by Del Boy and grandad. I used to lean on the wall to draw the Tower so I could pass my scouts artists badge in 1972. Our old troop - the 1st City of London (Lord Mayor's Own) were based opposite in Talbot House where the famous Toc H founder Tubby Clayton ended his days (mind your back). Next to Trinity House is the former headquarters of the Port of London Authority, and in the square itself is the Merchant Navy memorial. It's a good spot, you can even find a bit of Roman wall (and the train line from Fenchurch St to Southend - which takes me home at 1820 most days :-D). Have a wonderful day, Vince. I'll watch them tidying the empties on Monday morning :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
