    Default London 30th June Viva Incredible Veggie Show

    http://www.vivauk.org.uk/roadshows06/london.html

    Anyone going to this?

    Toni and me are planning on it if anyone fancies meeting up.
    It's a good one to drag interested omni's and vegetarians to.
    They don't usually have a bar, so a pub break is probably in order

    Scarlett - I am going with my friend and her daughter might be coming as well, maybe she is near the same age as your daughter.
    (I can't tell you how old she is though, not very good with kids, about 10 maybe?)

    The disguise sounds interesting! Maybe I will wear one as well just for fun.

    Apparently there's some work being done on the tubes this weekend, so you guys might want to check what the situation is currently. Had an email at work yesterday detailing which services are affected but don't have it to hand right now

    It looks like The George have fancied up their website and menu too Marrers

    We weren't going to mention we were going to this cos we were chaperoning Sam's Mum, who would not doubt have spent the entire day whinging about the food, wearing a leather jacket, wondering why she got dirty looks off people and generally causing us major irritation. She has type 2 diabetes and we've been trying to get her to go vegan for ages. She tries, sort of, but lets her omni son and daughter persuade her otherwise and basically reckons it's too difficult to eat vegan (despite the health benefits to type 2 diabetics) unless she has a vegan chef catering to her every whim 24 hours a day.

    Anyway, rant over, we're going now so if we see anyone and they wish to join us at the vegan cafe there then cooooool.

    Had quite a good time even though left early, stuffed my face with free food.

    Nice to meet up with you AMF and Aubergine sorry if I was rambling incoherantly at you both.

    Didn't see you Scarlett. Hope everyone else that went had a good time.

    Aphrodite, AMF tells me you spotted myself and Gorilla, but didn't say hello. That's quite stalkerish of you - you should have said hi!

    pretty much, it's usually the same kind of stalls. but there will be many more forum folks going along to the Vegan Fayre in August, and there are a lot of eating and drinking meets being arranged.

    And the Vegan Store should be going in August. I want my dolly mixture, dammit.

    i think you may be out of luck with the dolly mixtures, as Vegan Store haven't found a new supplier yet AFAIK.

    My friend bought me a new Redwoods Bean pate from the show. And some cake! Apparently the new fishless fingers packaging (6 in together rather than 3 and 3) is because Waitrose were unhappy with the longer packets - took up too much room on the shelves. Interesting.

    She said The George (of Brighton) were giving away free banana muffins and she picked them up on it - ie what is the point of giving away nice cakes when they never have vegan cakes on the menu!

    i didn't see any of the banana muffins on the George stall! they must've all gone before i got there. that's very true though, Marrers - they never seem to have any vegan cakes in the pub. what did they say to your friend?

    The person she spoke to said she sometimes makes cakes but is not always there. We've never seen cakes there!

    Anyway she also said they need to sort out the food as things have gone a bit awry lately . . . my friend agreed (and enthusiastically shared her views on what should be done!)

    They were there early as they run one of the stalls, so may have got hold of things you didn't see.
