I'll post my comments on Fans Reunited II later. But I thought I would provide short a review of our (Angela, Mariana, John, and I) Fish & Chips rendezvous.
Angela was so kind to drive us to Jack's Fish & Chips in Uxbridge. We each had delicious cod, soggy chips, mushy peas, and not very appealing bread and butter (over $1 in price ...it's always complimentary in the US ). It was my first time for the mushy peas and I loved them. Marian said I had to put some kind of liquid on my fish ... I believe it was vinegar.
We stayed at Jack's for quite awhile as I ate all of Marian's chips. Then Angela drove us back to the Premier Travel Inn for my first English pub experience. We had a nice time with three rounds of drinks (actually only two for me ; Americans drink slowly ). We chatted about music and we even got to hear Marian's lovely singing voice. And I learned three new expressions from Angela. And John explained the differences between the British political parties. Thanks Marian, Angela, and John for everything!
We actually closed the pub at midnight to conclude a very lovely evening.

I'm sure you're being very modest Marian. We all know how knowledgeable Paul is about music, and song!
Just realised, please forgive me Paul, it's only just dawned on me, you must be back at home. Hope you had a smooth, uneventful journey.
It was great to see you again, and hopefully, we can all do it again sometime. Hope you like your photos...nice one with Angela, actually they are all good of you.

Thanks, Marian. It was wonderful being with everyone again. I had a safe, uneventful journey home and arrived in 80 degree Fahrenheit temperatures at 7:30 pm! This weekend is upper 80s and maybe 90s. So, short pants all weekend long. Actually, I'm wishing for some British weather. I find it refreshing. Six straight months of sunny days in the 80s and 90s is a bit too much.
Can somewhere please tell me where the photos are located? I had trouble finding them last year and seem to be struggling again this year. Thank you.

Hi everyone...... Just re-covering after a couple of days in bed
full of a cold
It was a lovely evening at the FISH/CHIPS cafe, and fun watching Paul sample the dishes. In fact they are the only pictures (2) which I took there that have come out fine. Others taken in The Beck Foyer, have come out rather blurry, rather sad.

Glad to here you all enjoyed youtr soggy chips at Jacks Fish and Chips Bar, what you should had done is had all the drinks first and the fish and chips would have tasted even better.
Did not realise you were all meeting at Jacks, as Len could have arranged for you all as guests to join us at RAF Uxbridge in the Royal Air Force Association Club resturant.(Battle of Britain Club food second to none)
We were there on the Monday evening, on the opposite side of the road to Jack's.
Perhaps next year you would like to give it some thought
Best wishes

Hi Lena and Freda---we had been arranged to go to "Jacks" for fish and chips for some time, as Paul was anxious to try his first proper British Fish and Chips.
Thank you for your invitation to the RAF club restaurant--I am sure we would all like to take advantage of it at the next Fan club Meet.
