I'm really sorry about not giving more notice. I intended to be there, but being on a help desk has it's drawbacks for planning.

It's only 1 week in 4, so I'll be at the next one - promise!

Cool

Guys - next time you are at the Downshire Arms, look carefully at the way that "Arms" is written on the back of the restaurant staff's sweatshirts..... Somehow the ups and downs of the letters r and m look far more like the letters n and u.

Honestly, you'll believe me when you see it, and then you won't be able to look any of the staff straight in the eye.

I'm torn at the moment, the A303 or the A30!! Motorways can only take you so far, but I guess that's what happens when you go to the **** end of nowhere!!!

watch out for nasty placed gatso's on both roads. look out when you have gone downhill and under a bridge on a quick bit of road as there are quite a few on the backsides of bridges that you cant see until the &lt;FLASH&gt;&lt;FLASH&gt; goes off....

Dave,

You obviously don't know me that well, I drive as if Miss Daisy is in the back!!!

Thanks for the warning , but with a 6 hour journey ahead of me, I think I will be keeping it at sensible speeds!!! (More petrol consumption issues!!!)

Cheers
Andy
