Is there anyone out there in Theatreland/ cyberspace who remembers the" Coffee Pot"This wonderful coffee lounge had a bohemium atmosphere and was the place to gather after seeing ,or being involved in a theatrical production;& where "theatre Junkies met to "chew the fat",debate,gossip,agree,disagree,& generally try to unravell the mysteries of the "addiction"The sinking of Perth Railway Station brought about the Pots demise but I can still recall the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and almost taste the ledgendary home made spring rolls & chutney.
It occured to me that this site is "The Pots" electronic replacement,with similar banter,high opinion,myth making & myth de bunking for which the lounge was famous.I enjoy following the debates,but,yes,I do miss the smell of the coffee,& of course the PEOPLE.

I think Irma La Douce, of the Guild Theatre fame, introduced me to the legandry raisin toast and froffy coffee.

I seem to remember something about the 'Guilt Dragon' or was that next door? "Ah! --- Yes! - I remember it well"

Those were the days when we would wait for the 'West' and 'Sunday times' for the crit's come out of the show we just done. But that's all gone now, the only thing you can do now is see if somethings mentioned in the local rag?

I think it would be great, if we had a 'greeseee spoon' agin ( I think that might have been the jiont opposite the Maj?), that us theatre props could call make our own and be a central meeting place - any takers or offers? - I would even bring my own bread and beans.
