great idea - i'm in :) calender looks reasonably free right now except the weekend of the 19th since it looks like i may have various work/other dos around that one.would prefer east london, but pretty flexible
you wouldn't use the meat knife on crusty bread but, equally, the serrated knife and straight edge knife aren't going to go through raw meat as quickly
if it worksout for me i will try and make it too- but things are starting to look busy - just been out painting ceramics (as in cups not magnets you dorks) with middle aged women - thats the first xmas party done with!!!
Sounds like the best idea is to all get drunk separately when time permits and then start a thread here and post when you're boozed up.
