Must admit to feeling a little jealous when reading this thread, being the pariah is not always fun(don't worry it will pass).

Well, I went... and everyone treated me very well!

It would have been lovely to meet you too!

Rob and I took a genteel stotter around the Lanes,,,he thought we were 'browsing'..I knew we were 'buying'.......and I came back to the hotel with more than I left with.......a gorgeous topaz and diamond bracelet...

WOW! Congratulations!

For what it is worth I don't feel poorly treated by the Hilton whatsoever, we had a lovely function room at the top of the hotel, with stunning views across the seafront, the food and service were tremendous.

Personally I'd like to thank Kate for organising everything and trying so hard to make everyone happy. I didn't hear any complaints on the day, or in the morning, and we really did have a fabulous evening and I for one am proud to be a part of Legalbeagles.

There was no reason to complain, the service was good and the food was tasty, as for the wine... I must have drunk all the bottles my end, since Sapphy/Inca, etc. were not drinking it, I wonder where it all went!

Rest of my piccies I put on Facebook btw xx

I thought about FB, but some people are not on FB.

We had a quick wander around the lanes before meeting up with Nelly to drag her out for lunch.

I also had a wander round the lanes, went into the pub you guys said you'd be in, saw a suitable group of people and approached them, asking whether they were the Beagles! The looked at me like I'd just escaped from the nearest mental institution, so I made my apologies and left. :bolt:

I'd hate people not to come because of the money - the travel and possible staying over costs are prohibitive enough.

I had considered attending, but the likely cost and (worse) travelling time rather put me off.

And freecycle was the simplest way of filling the empty seats at the last minute, it wasn't a marketing opportunity at all, that's a extremely cynical view, it was done with the very best of intentions and worked out very well.

It could have been much worse.
You might have ended up with the Lamberts of RLP. :behindsofa:

It's the angle, SmartAss!

Rather than an artefact caused by using a wide angle setting on the camera?

and she looks beautiful

I'd have said "serene".

The pic is very low-res and full of artifacts!!!

I'd have said "serene".

Which is a word that you wouldn't normally associate with a mad parrot like me, would you?
