1st August - Paul and Jacinta (PJF and jarich) come to London!
G'day Everyone, Jacinta Richardson and myself are travelling all the way from Australia to visit YAPC::EU this year, and we're going via the UK on our way to the conference[1]. On Sunday, 1st of August we'll actually be on the ground *in* London for a whole afternoon. We'll be arriving at Gloucester Place (Baker St) at about 12:30pm, and we have to be back at Gloucester Place at about 10:15pm to catch our bus to Luton, en route to Lisbon. In between that time, we currently have undefined plans, but would love to catch up with any local Mongers who may be about. We'll also be hungry and while I know that traditional London.pm fare features Dim Sum, I must admit that having come from Australia we're eager to try some traditional British cuisine. In particular, we've heard great stories about curries with half'n'half. I've also been assured that I must try the cider. :) If anyone has an afternoon or evening free, or any suggestions as to what we should get up to, or if there happens to be a London.pm meeting, we'd love to meet up. Also, if anyone has any tips regarding luggage storage facilities near/at Gloucester Place, we'd appreciate hearing about them. We will be returning to London again later in the month, probably around or just before the 15th August. All the best, Paul [1] On the way back we're taking the scenic route, which is probably Lisbon-Madrid-Paris-Somewhere-Scotland-England-London-KL-Australia. -- Paul Fenwick p...@perltraining.com.au | http://perltraining.com.au/ Director of Training | Ph: +61 3 9354 6001 Perl Training Australia| Fax: +61 3 9354 2681

I can't remember if Paul and Jacinta are vegetarian, but I'd suggest to rapidly immerse them into the local ethnic culture that warm beer and jellied eels might be more appropriate :)

There is one place here (W12) that serves them. It never seems to have queues down the street. --James
