BREAKING NEWS:
QM2K CANCELLED – T2K PLANNED

4 September 2000

The London Men's Self-Help Pub Crawl Group yesterday conceded that plans for QM2K - a celebratory pub crawl in honour of the Queen Mother's 100th birthday - had been unceremoniously scrapped in July, following failure to agree on a suitable date.

A spokesperson apologised on behalf of the group, who had already pencilled in visits to a variety of Queen-based public houses in the London area. However, it was stressed that alternative arrangements are under way for another outing during Y2K. The current favourite is rumoured to be T2K - a crawl along the route of the new Croydon Tramlink - although other suggestions are reportedly being considered, including a crawl round a selection of the capital's football stadia, fc2k.
