It's all in the name really.

I'd have thought London was the best choice, but I might be wrong, so here we go again...

London is best, I think.

TBH Brum would be better for us, but we know how to get to London easily, and the extra distance isn't really that big a deal.

For me, it's only time and money, neither of which I have tonnes of, but I'd love to meet you people so I'll try to attend anyway.

As for setting, making travel easy is a good thing, but if we're commenting on "X is too expensive, and Y is too busy", I'm all up for meeting in a pub in the middle of nowhere...I don't like cities, so somewhere in the country would be more preferable...

But as I said, it's just time and money to me and I want to meet you :P
London/Brum is probably best for me travel wise :)

London is my preference from the above choices.

Leeds is my preference in general though..

Would make it much easier for the northerners to get here, offers easier access than London believe it or not >.<

Obviously, Living in Manchester, I have to say... London! Only kidding, Manchester really. I think this would be a lot easier to discuss if people actually said where they are located. Saying it's easier to get to wherever is easier for me but not saying where you're coming from isn't very condusive to a full conversation.

Maybe someone knows a better way to get to the decided meeting place from where you are at right now, but they can't tell you if they don't know where you are.

Does that make sense?

Also, would it be better to have two options in the poll, then we could try and find a compromise that would suit more people if needs be...

Ok, I'm coming from about an hour away from London. ;)

Yeah two options is fine John, what do you suggest they are?

I thought that too Sas! Maybe he's taken the medication at last. :shock:

I would have chosen Manchester or Birmingham. I think saying Manchester would probably be a little selfish, as it's as difficult/expensive for the Londoners to get up here as it is forme to go there, but Brum seems like a good compromise.

Also, thanks guys. I can be sensible sometimes. it's just that I usually choose not to be. ;)

I actually have a very high IQ but am sometimes labelled as being immature due to my jovial/silly nature.

:P

I've just noticed the new voting option... Dave, you PILLOCK!!! :lol:

I meant let us make two choices, so we could choose Manchester/Birmingham, or London/Birmingham etc.

I didn't mean narrow it down two two choices... :roll: :P
