The chats have traditionally been scheduled to start at noon Pacific
Time which is 3 pm Eastern Time which is 8 pm in Britain, but people
started to turn up one hour early and last week some people turned up
earlier than that!

Hey, NEIL! PENNY!, as we are no longer using Yahoo!Clubs chatroom, why
don't we delete the Yahoo! Club?

Something which IIRC was said in a previous chat, but I haven't been
able to find it in the chatscripts:  the legal age for drinking alcohol
without food in UK is 16 years old(?) but schools can get waivers to
allow underage students to drink at school parties. That sounds totally
implausible to my USAmerican ears, and I am wondering is it true, or did
I dream it?
