Oi, Lard Skipjack of 'Umberside - the date is non-negotiable unless you are willing to pay an administration fee of 57 pounds. I have checked the calendar and the toad licking thing isn't til the following weekend (unless you're referring to the Yardley Gobion Toad Liking Festival - that might indeed clash, but shouldn't be an issue to a whelk-fancier like yourself).

By the way, Dumigan's back room has been done up beautifully and is all clean and cosy and cushy and lovely and just ripe for the playing.
