It *looks* as though I have a webcam meeting with a lad in London later this afternoon.
I've told the lad to meet me at Leicester Square / corner of Irving Street, which just so happens to be next to a hotel with some webcams Very Happy

The webcam I will use is here:
http://www.radissonblu-edwardian.com/leicester-square-webcam

The particular cam view you want is: 'To Charing Cross Road'

I'm hoping to get the lad to wait outside the 'Subway' food outlet.

The meeting time should be 2pm BST, lad says he is on his way into 'from the airport'
He is, of course no more 'at an airport' than I am Smile

Anyway, if all goes well, we can have a laugh watching him wait Very Happy

Watching now! There is a guy top right on mobile phone 'white shirt, blue jeans' who has been there for about 10 minutes.

13:10 another guy standing awkwardly near the bin centre left. White shirt dark trousers, mobile phone.

Hmm.... a little early for my lad - he didn't seem to know London very well, and said he would call back when he got off the train at Leicester Sq stn.

If I thought I would be getting cash, I would get there damn early.

Guy centre left, brown jacket, white shirt,blue jeans, hat? mobile phone.

~15 minutes until the meeting time, and I'm monitoring the webcam for any Likely Lad characters to come into view. Very Happy

just got a call from the lad
"still at the airport - it'll be another hour" Rolling Eyes

When pushed, he was very adamant that he'll be there...

Is he a London-based lad?

Also, where does he claim to be flying in from?

Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 1:02 pm

Guy with white trainers pacing near the bin.

Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 1:03 pm

He's London based, I'm sure of that, but I haven't asked where he's flying in from.
I'll drop an email to the Irish lad* and ask him..

* should explain: initial contact through a Malaysian lad, he's put me in touch with a lad (IP = Ireland), and he's running the London lad.

text message from lad
"I am in d train" Smile

The waiter by the bin is back. White shirt. Leans up against the wall a few times. He was there earlier I'm sure.

I didn't see him before, so assumed he was laddy before he started talking to other people.

Can you get him to stand inside the bushes lining the Subway patio, at the end near the trash bin? It's a pretty distinctive spot and no one else goes there.

Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 1:59 pm

There he is!!! A bait like this really brightens the day for me! Laughing

EDIT: But only for about 2 minutes, then he left. He was standing right in front of the bushes by the subway, waiting. African man, dark trousers and white/light blue shirt.

2nd EDIT: I think he's back, now talking in the cell phone. The time at the writing of this is 1407Z.

He was on a phone the whole time, right? I think I might have snapped a screenshot of it.

Did you manage to get a snapshot, Duffy?

Edit: That was possibly the waiter for the adjacent café/restaurant, who has been seen a few times.

beautiful job. Provided the yellow-ish shirt / dark pants is your guy - pacing, phoning, pacing, phoning. .. occasionally out of cam, but still there.

Shame he was 2 hours late ... his oga won't be pleased

Kudos !

That guy came back around the block a few minutes later then disappeared at the bottom of the frame.

Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 2:14 pm

he just called me - bad background but he says he's in Irvine street (where the subway is) - I sent him to the subway outlet

I did, but I'm not sure how I can upload it now as I'm at work. If I don't find a solution (can I upload direct to Eater?), it will have to wait until I get home in the evening.

EDIT: I don't believe it's the waiter, as he is now walking around several meters in front of the subway, looking at his cell phone (I believe it's the same guy).

OK, he's still at the tube station!! Evil or Very Mad

He's asking for directions (I could hear him!) to charing cross road and hopefully will be on his way...

Not sure about uploading directly to Eater (perhaps only Premium members can?), but would it not be possible to use a quick service like TinyPic or ImageShack? If not, then obviously it can wait. Smile

Here you go:

However, reading llamedos last post it obviously isn't our mugu! Crying or Very sad

Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 2:29 pm

Gaaah! Now he wants meet in Trafalgar Square!!!
This lad doesn't know London very well (or at least this part of it)

I *think* he now understands where he has to go, but I'm damned if I can understand him Confused

The instructions to meet him at a Subway in Leicester Square had him thinking I was meeting him at Leicester Square tube station.. Rolling Eyes

He's hard work!
