    As in, most of the "before 8" crew have stopped turning up?
    I can do Friday morning (mind you, I have made sure I could make last month's and then I forgot all about it. :-( )

    "As in, most of the "before 8" crew have stopped turning up?"

    I think that's probably true.

    In recent months there have (apparently) been 'early' people without anyone for company.

    'Peak' time is now more like 8:30-9:15.

    For those who have never been before, CCEers 'takeover' the long table near the door.

    There have been months when it's been full, but not recently.

    Conversation isn't just about bikes!

    A weather forecast says reasonable warm, slight wind, no rain.

    Right, I am coming and it will be before 8 as my route is carmageddon if I leave it too late. I'll bring a book!

    Is that some sort of internet meme thing?

    I'll be there before eight, otherwise it doesn't seem worth turning up...

    Min, I think it relates to this:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatspace_Chat

    It sounds like a non-permanent, pseudo-anonymous mashup of Twitter and IRC.

    I always understood "meatspace" to mean something like "real people in the real world" as opposed to online.

    fimm is correct - and I'm old too, I may just have spent too many of those years wasting time on the Internet!

    Twenty years ago I was all over IRC, then something happened and I got old.

    I hope not to forget this time! I hope some of the other early people will make it...

    "I will not wait around if no one there."

    Look out for people reading books...

    Really enjoyed the tea and chat. Glad I got up for it. :-) I think we might have a potential new recruit too?

    Made it, only about half an hour later than I initially intended. Thanks to Roibeard for the Christmas bun.

    Was later than I hoped to be (and very late into the office...) nice to meet people. Unusually, there were more women than men there (at least while I was there).

    I had every intention of making my first PY today but after running late this morning I had to settle with observing through the window as I ran past on my (late) way to work. Seemed well populated though.

    Or 10. Or 11! Made for a nice warm-up to a wee bit of Christmas shopping.

    Costly warm up? Good to see so many early risers. Passed my inspection if anyone interested.

    @chdot I think Min is celebrating my inspection being over. Not the coffee. Min is on the money with the feeling of at least it is over. You are on the money with until next month but will be until two years when the sequel to the sequel How Good is Our School 4 will come my way.

    Oh that inspection.

    I thought it was the inspection of the before8oclockers.
