Agreed, with the standing up bit but isn't that what Peter C has done?
 I think the problem is that we have some diametrically opposed views.
 One side is happy for the pub meets while the other wants nothing to
do with a pub meet.  So why not two venues?  One a pub the other a
more standard meeting room?  Alternate them month in, month out.

Oh, gammy leg :-) nah... gammy back actually. But we should all be
equal in the LUG I wholeheartedly agree, but in the community at night
we aren't sadly.
