I'd go down, but want the space for regulars. I met the Imperial many years ago for a post-Pride pint, and when I taught at the adjacent university used to go there for post-exam pints with my students.

Absolutely. Definitely appreciated Perks putting him in his place with "You can't vote against shelters on Monday and for encampment clearing on Thursday."
