I put Lord Elvis in that category, by the way, based on correspondence we've had in the past.<br /><br />As far as backstreet pubs are concerned: it is almost certainly an effect of the economic times in which we live that pubs in Westminster can probably no longer afford the staff costs of opening on days that Parliament does not usually sit (including weekends), apart from in the very heart of the tourist season.<br /><br />Just a guess, but I've never known that happen before, and I knew a few backstreet pubs not far from there when I worked in Victoria Street back in the 'eighties and early 'nineties.John M Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251285057595626917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-12383221482887754092009-05-31T23:04:25.399+01:002009-05-31T23:04:25.399+01:00Lord Elvis,

Unfortunately, with having to do a full day's canvassing today, this meant I had to devote my Saturday to the family, hence the no-how. But I will definitely make the next one, and I am glad to see that it was such a success. Well done Steve for doing this, and hopefully it will grow into something larger than you can possibly imagine at this stage.<br /><br />You know, the really funny thing is that everyone pictured actually looks like I imagined them previously.Lord Elvis of Paisleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066044263167158787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-9004443633418900452009-05-31T21:57:06.598+01:002009-05-31T21:57:06.598+01:00Dick,
