Chris is there a link or something to buy a ticket I fancy some of that sounds like a fine night out.
Steve, their website is www.light-house.co.uk. I'm not sure if you can buy tickets on line or not. Their phone number is 01902 716055. The box office is open Monday to Friday 09:00 to 20:30 (Saturday & Sunday according to screenings).
The venue is a sort of arts centre/cafe/conference centre etc. etc. and is just 2 minutes from Wolverhampton railway station.
On Friday 29 June the film is due to be introduced at 19:30, then shown at 19:45, with the debate commencing just after 21:00. There is a train back to Stafford at 22:39 (with a later one at 23:34 if the debate really gets going). |

Never trust a suit
The film I've seen the debate afterwards should be great. |

I want to see it but fear it will result in me getting all cross and shouty again, so I'll wait until the summer when it's nice and sunny  |

James, have you got up to date figs that I could take a look at?
I'm doing a business model for a coffee-store and would appreciate links to these resources if freely available. |

| I don't know of any exact figures, but I do know that in the UK barely any cafes have a coffee cost higher than 10p per espresso, with that dropping down to around 3p for some of the chains. |

Well Steve and myself were at the film showing and debate last night in Wolverhampton.
No prizes for guessing who asked the first question, and the second and the third.................
Apart from director Nick Francis, there were representatives from the Labour & Co-operative Party (Ken Purchase) and Fair Trade, who took the opportunity to bang their political drums.
All in all an interesting evening, though I'm sure Steve will have a lot more to say about it. |
