Who organized?
Joanne O'Hehir

Sylvia will be happy to raise a glass with you all at "The Tipsy Pig" on Chestnut Street this coming Friday evening from 6.30 pm. I think the name itself makes it worthy of a visit!

As usual, buy a drink at the bar and mosey on over to where you hear English accents and introduce yourself. Although not obligatory, please make an effort to sign up for the event because it gives the organizer some idea of the numbers expected and even a slim chance of remembering a couple of names!

It should be another great end-of-month meetup with good company and beer, so please go along if you're free and join Sylvia and other Brits.

Cheers.

Joanne

    I'm sorry that Fran had such a bad experience but we had an excellent time. I found everyone to be extremely friendly and I enjoyed effortless conversation with lots of different members of the group all evening. I enjoyed it very much and will definitely be coming to more events in the future.

    •  I had a great time. We arrived about 7, and the group had already colonized a good sized table. We went over and introduced ourselves, were welcomed, and we sat down and got a drink. I talked to quite a few people, and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The point of the evening for us was to meet people, and we did that. We will be coming again, definitely. 
    •  I suppose we arrived late ... by then a 'group' had formed and no one made an effort to include us - backs turned and a cramped spot made it impossible to squeeze in. No one said hello. A bit like going to a village pub. Initially I was astounded that Brits could be so rude, so lacking in social graces and baseline courtesy ... but then I remembered – that's why I left! This group is a waste of time and ... . other newbies say the same – no one is very friendly and fundamentally it's not a feel good experience. If you're new to San Francisco and looking to touch base with Blighty – keep your memories and don't engage with this bunch – it's like being locked inside an episode of the office with no way out and no one to hear you scream. Dull, Rude and in summation pretty offensive.
