In a Kia?

And averaging 60 is pretty good going, and must involve quite a lot of travel at illegal speeds

It's motorway door to door so averaging 60 is a piece of cake, imvhe Travelling at mildly illegal speeds, I would guess that you could bring that down by 15-20 minutes

Hang on, for one thing we started at Wantage, we also stopped for petrol. Rac say: - Total estimated time: 3 h 12 min!!!!!

So wasn't bad going by my book

Starting at Wantage shaves 2 miles off the journey () so that's one heck of a fuel stop

Chris

Going south down the A338 and join the M4 at hungerford (J14) would have saved you half an hour!!!

i shall be armed with monster munch and cherry 7up, but feel free to sign me up for any grub/pub lunch/bbq/bush tucker that is going

[Moose]

Sorry, but this is a no for me

Pixi will know what its like to have days off cancelled for 'events' and its happened to me on the weekend of the 30th.

Looks like no getting 'lost' in the new forest with a certain member if she turns up after all

[tfboy]

Hmm I may be tempted to pop along, but will have to see if I can fit it in. Doubt very much whether I'd stay for camping though

Was it a genuine or one of the rather good knock off ones that were going this year.
I saw a few really upset people who had got knock off tickets from a cafe.

I had a f**king great time but didn't see you there (not that there was a huge likelihood of it).

As for the food I'll give the pub a bell make sure they can deal with a large group at some point soon.

Crikey, that was lucky I rang that cafe friday morning to get one but got a genuine one from my colleague instead.

I did hear today that a fake was also sold from a well known high st. music outlet I hope that's not true otherwise where the heck could you trust? Mr P had a staff wrist band and even those ended up being copied by sunday night as one of the security guys told us.

Shocking, thieving, cheating scumbags is all I can say.

Anyway, back on topic.....I have requested that Mr P asks for the night shift before hand off, or he will be one tired bunny because I want to come to this meet

[cheezemonkhai]

I heard about that music outlet too at the gates.

The wristbands were being sold by friday night can you believe.


And would be if you and he can get along.
