The Confusion Begins

The Pimlico League of Educated Ladies would be delighted to indulge in some light hearted banter and repartee with The Moorgate Institute of Classical Female Elders, but would also like to stress again that they ceased being The Penge Institute for Ladies of the Night (Victoria Branch) in 1907 and we have discussed this issue with your group over the intervening years.
I do understand that your institute secretary, Miss Twigham, has been in contact with our secretary, Ms. Alice Zimmer, and some rather forthright views were expounded by Miss Twigham on the occasion. In particular reference was made to that unfortunate pile-up on the M25 when Ms. Zimmer found herself joining the motorway at Junction 13 whilst driving her invalid car. She did apologise at the time and I feel that the language used by Miss Twigham was uncalled for. Nonetheless, we have decided to let bygones be bygones and agree to your suggested meet.
Our usual venue of the Old Dog ‘n’ Duck is no longer available due to its conversion to the ‘A-Strip-a-Go-Go-Wine-Noodle-and-Pole-Dancing-Club’ at its last refit.
The other possibilities would only really include somewhere called ‘The Village’ – which brings to mind young boys with cheek of tan and women gathered round the pump – or there is one called ‘West Central’ and with those initials one suspects it might be somewhere Miss Twigham might particularly enjoy.
Would tomorrow evening be too precipitate a time?
Yours with the most sincere etc. etc.
