Well said Gaby but there really is no solution at least being an early Saturday time for you you do not have to rise for work that day as far as I Know. But.... the chat room is always open so (and as I suggested to you before by email there is absolutely nothing to stop you or another Brit from organising a "BritChat" session at any other time. (we had a 2PM GMT Sunday britchat back in 1999 which worked well when North Americans could join in on a Sunday morning
Think about it

Newsgroup Highlights w/e 17 September 2004
As has been depressingly similar on the Newsgroup for some time there has again been little of consequence. Indeed there was so little comment about the upcoming celebration in Hamilton that I felt obliged to somewhat cheekily ask "Maybe only corfid readers are going???" this brought several responses including this from Gaby
'My friends think I'm mad, travelling 3,5000 (sic) miles to see a man they've
never heard of.. {More fool them!)
Apparently, you're all pervs and I will be dragged into the sordid
underworld of international trafficking!!!!"
Actually G-baby you'll find it is not quite that far despite the continental drift and all that!! Just ask your glorious
leader Tony!!
So again I'll give you a link to another old thread on the Newsgroup.
This is one that I started after I received my Songbook box set in 1999 and one that I am particularly fond of because it degenerated into a discussion on the good old British Pound sign (£).
