I knew my enthusiastic ramblings might get me into hot water at some point ...

It seems my excited waffling on about location hunting, and the odd phenomenon of fans finding their way to Bart's to pay their respects, has gained me some notice. I have been asked to write an article on fandom (and how social media effects it) for a magazine which I have in my library, and Media Studies students use a lot. ...

While this is very exciting I need to get my brains in soak and decide what I am going to write about. What I also need is few people to talk to so I can add their voices to my writing. I suppose I should just go to London again, park myself in front of Pathology and wait (you always get a few people passing on an afternoon at the weekend) but then I had an idea.

I keep asking for fans in the UK within shouting (or even train travel) distance of London to meet up, so I am going try and do that again. I will probably be around next Saturday (the 29th Sept) to spend some time there, and finish up a few (more) locations I need to sort out, but I know that might be a bit short notice. I don't have to send this thing off until the end of November so I could, I suppose, be every hopeful and shedule something in mid-October and throw in some other popular Sherlock locations for good measure. Is anyone free and would anyone like to join me?

As it happens, I will be travelling to London on Saturday, but I have to be at Southwark Playhouse by three o'clock. If a couple of hours nearer mid-day were any use to you, I could be available.

OOh yes. Where would you like to meet-up and when? My train should get in about 11 and I was thinking of going to Speedy's to see if I could spot any fans there to observe. Do you want to meet me there and help me finish up a couple of nearby locations after I have done what I need to do?

Umm... I'll be coming down from Manchester, haven't decided which train yet. Could get to Euston on any of the trains between 11.04 and 12.04 (they're every twenty minutes). And Speedy's is about five minutes walk from there?
