[AlanT82]

I'd like to tag along but will need to check my availability with the family before casting my vote. Sundays usually work better for me but we'll see about this one.

before running the gauntlet of Cowdenbeath (where neither fine men nor fair maiden reside)

Oi you, i'm moving to Cowdenbeath in 8 days time (take that as you will)

Depending on what im doing i might be able to tag along to this ride

Good man! Then you can grant me safe passage through the packs of dogs.

My dearest Bertie, when I read your epistle about Cowdenbeath, I gathered my unlettered manservants and read it to them!
Oh what jocularity was had! They all laughed uproariously, except Smiggins - that simple-minded stable boy I told you about - it transpires that he is from Cowdenbeath! (I shall have to have a word with his aunt, the poor thing was at her wits' end with him before I volunteered to take him on)

 

[Edwardoka]

Out of idiom for now, the 11th seems to cover every base so far; shall we take the plunge and make it the 11th?

 

[Mr_Grieve]

11th sounds good to me.

Can we book some sunshine and light winds

The dogs wont catch you with the speeds you do these days

My dear Mr. Benson,

On receiving your request, I immediately issued my servant Errol with the mission to deliver it to the appropriate department at the Meteorological Society. However, as I am certain that you would agree, they are often a recalcitrant bunch, and how slow they are to work their infernal humidification and wind-making apparatus!

I would not count on a positive outcome. October can be very cold and wet indeed, and winter is coming!

Best wishes
p.p. Edmund Pugglesworth Esq.

My poor misguided Edmund, when will you ever learn? I have told you numerous times that taking in illiterate young boys from the gutter and showing them some kindness is a fools errand - you will only give them ideas above their station and before you know it they will be bathing in your salts and helping themselves to your snuff!

My God, next you will be out campaigning with those insufferable Sufferagettes calling for women to get the vote! Sort yourself out man!!

p.s. Tilly has her horse trial Saturday morn, we can discuss the picnic sandwich fillings at The Club on Friday.

 

[dhd.evans]

Now, i toss my hat in on this one. I'd be up for this in principle. 4th is out for me as am at Still Game in Glasvegas but other dates potentially...

 

[arranandy]

Please put me down for a possible on the 18th October. At a push I could do the 11th but the 4th is a no-go as I'll be on sunny Mallorca

 

[GBC]

I'd certainly probably hopefully be up for it, but the 11th is out for me - off to Kintyre for MoKBike. I can't be definite for the other dates as I have a lot going on around then, so if the 11th is the best choice for the rest, I'll catch the next one.

 

[ska1903]

I would like to come along but can't do the 11th as OH away for a hen do, the other dates should be fine though.
