Damn, even though I'm back in London on the 2nd I am in fact busy that day. If you are choosing to 'fall on your sword' I suppose the meet will be Sat from, say 11:00 at Waterloo Station? Post to confirm...
Q, I'm virtually free any other day Mon-Fri, or could even meet you on the Sun [5th] as well as coming out on the Sat. Talk about making the most of a weekend!
