Perhaps Bryan could consider what they'd do at the Lewes Arms if someone like that started turning up week after week.

I have absolutely no idea. I expect we'd find a way to cope. If it ever happens, I'll let you know.

I can't really see the point of having contingency plans for every hypothetical situation that might arise. We have more urgent worries like what to do when you've got a room full of people you'd love to give a spot to but there just isn't time. That one happens quite often but never gets easier. Or you've just about worked out that you can fit everybody in but someone really good turns up late. Do you ask someone who's been there since the start to stand down to make room for the latecomer?
