Just a funny little follow-up for those of us who met up at the Fatboy's Diner beforehand. I have a nephew who lives just over Bow Creek from there in a block of flats on the SW corner of the dock by Excel.

But what I didn't know and just found out today talking to his mother (one of my sisters) is that his office is on Trinity Buoy Wharf right next to the diner, looking out over the Thames!
Not that he was likely to be there on a Sunday....

My sister has eaten in the Diner a few times but didn't actually seem that impressed.
