Yes, I went and the précis given is basically what went on. I got my History of West Ham book signed. What a lovely lad Vaz Te is.

As for the circus tavern, I have never been in such an establishment before. My worst fears were realised when their were notices up saying "gentlemen only" and the bloke in charge looked like a greasy spiv in a shiny grey suite, thick gold link bracelet and sov rings. Yuk yuk yuk yuk.

Questions were even worse than normal, the forum at the Boleyn was much better AND loads of free food. I didn't venture from my seat as it was just too horrible a place to be wandering around so cannot confirm lager prices or if chicken in a basket was on the menu. In fact I am quite traumatized by it all and I am not one to scare easily.
