Hi,

Coincidentally, my wife and I often have lunch in the Unite HQ. We are not members, but it's no problem and they do a good baked potato. There is plenty of reading matter spread around and it is refreshing to be in a political environment completely at odds with the world outside, just for a lunchtime. It's actually a kind of time travel.
