For what it's worth - I don't drink and drive; as I'll have to get there and back I'll be driving. So I won't be drinking...

Okay! I'll get to the point in a week or two...

There's room for three big 'uns in my car (or a big 'un and three a little smaller), so I can offer a lift to wherever we go for the curry.

Rusholme may be a problem - Saturday night + big group = need to book in advance.

There are alternatives - here in Farnworth there are a couple of places less likely to be over-subscribed (I can check); there are also other places within easy reach of the WL...

Just a thought...
