Mithalwen, the chat room is "open" 24/7. There are many Europeans who hang out there; some younger than you; some older. Do you want to chat during work hours or in the evening? Or are you a nightowl? I'm sure you can find people there.
Sauce manages to be there at the most amazing hours.
Chat ebbs and flows, but try it out.
Oh, and introduce yourself to me when you come (in case you change your nick). I'm the Op called Bethberry.
