My Report ~ London Christmas GTG 12 November 2011
-
Checked in at the “The Tower Hotel” and my view of “mini Monaco”  Finally made it to the “Dickens Inn” and again received a very warm welcome from fellow TRFers …  … plenty of watch chat was evident     … then a very pleasant surprise with the arrival of Paul (ayecarumba) from the US with a little gift for Spuds      … although this was the first time Paul was meeting us, as always happens, it wasn’t long before that simple “Rolex” moniker fostered more friendships    Paul (ayecarumba) showing us how and WHY he wears his GMT the way he does … ‘cos he's an AIRLINE PILOT …  … at the Controls  Since some of us missed out on the “original” table shot, we had a mini table shot …    As the evening progressed, we were graced with the presence of lovely English Roses Mrs spuds and Mrs BH13GMT   As the GTG came to an end, some of us then went for Dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it …   Dan then received another Gift …      (PS. censored just in case the Mods ... !!) … so till the next time CHEERS   -

Great pictorial, David.
It's tough to participate in the GTG AND take pics for the world to enjoy. Believe me, I know. Thanks for letting us tag along.Paul, I too was once the "visiting yank" and enjoyed a extraordinary day with my TRF mates. Best part of my trip to London.dP
