The only thing about starbucks is no use if you do not drink coffee. Why can they not sell diet coke? :))
 
I can always have water though. Do not want to be a spoil sport. The problem is I do not know that station at all. Is there a Cafe Nero there? Or even a pub? In my area all the places I can think of to meet are a walk from the station which is a shame.
 
I just googled and found -

Caffe Nero (St Pancras)
The Arcade
St Pancras International Station
Pancras Road
NW1 2QP

It sounds like it's outside of the station, which might make it easier to find than having to walk all the way through the station. What does anyone else think?
 
Well that sounds good if everybody else agrees. We could meet there at 12?
 
I'm ok with that - anyone else? I don't want to be taking over Abi nurse's original idea.
 
Oh dont worry, I'm open to whatever you like. The only other place i can suggest is going somewhere like covent garden which has lots of places to eat. But where youve all suggested is fine.

I hadn't thought of Covent Garden, which is a good idea. But if we did, rather than meet at a specific cafe/restaurant, perhaps we should all meet at the station so nobody gets lost? I think there's only one exit (am I right?) so there should be no confusion.

But I'm happy with either - it's whatever everyone else decides.
 
o.k. everyone else who's coming - Covent Garden, or Caffe Nero at St Pancras?
 
As nobody has decided I suggest Cafe Nero at St pan station at one. Please say if you do not agree as I am only saying this as nobody else has. I think a cafe like that is good because it is not as expensive as a restaurant.
 
I'm happy with what other people chose. Only thing is if anyone has any allergies or requirements regarding food. (eg. coeliac, diabetic) We just want to make sure it suits everyone.

I've never been to a Cafe Nero, what sort of things do they do? Is someone going to arrive early and sit with a sign with a pigture of a piggy on it or something?! I'll be the one with the rose in my button hole guinea pig t shirt!

Hmm, yes. What could I be sick with, it needs to be inventive...they has a noticeboard outside the office where they write your name and reason for absence if you ring in. Just so everybody can be nosey. rolleyes

No. I don't. My Mum is coeliac (no wheat or gluten eg. cakes, bread, rolls, pastries) and was thinking of coming but she now has something on so it doesn't matter. If anyone else has anything though it's best to check.

Really. I was thinking about baking and bringing some cakes so I can do gluten free if he is coming? I actually prefer gluten free myself! Any likes or dislikes regarding cupcakes?!

Aww that is so sweet of you. He would love that as he can never buy cakes outside. :)
 
I'm happy with the venue, and if I'm early I'll be standing outside with my (soft toy) piggy in my arms looking like a nutter. I'll probably also wear my badge which says Sue G if that's any help. (I have to find the place first, of course!).

Could I be awkward and suggest 12.30 instead of 1 - gives us more time. But if everyone else wants 1, that's fine with me.

(Nibbles&Nugget, the rose is meant to be between your teeth, not in your buttonhole)

I don't usually allow myself to be seen in print, but just in case anyone wants to know who to look out for, this is me (and you've seen Abi nurse's pictures with her piggies recently)

Hello all, sorry I seem to have missed all the updates on this thread! I'm happy with the choice though :) looking forward to it!
 
Hmmm just chosing cupcake recipes. They are all gluten free and my own recipes. Which would people prefer? Banana cupcakes, carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, apple and cinnamon cupcakes, mini christmas pudding cupcakes, plain with jam centre, plain with chocoloate spread centre, chocolate spread flavoured.

Honestly, I have loads of recipes and I can never decide! Just need to know in advance so I can pick up the ingredients!
