So if we're not having meetings in "****ing holes", may I suggest France?

OK, let's think of a town that does...

Aberystwyth.

That's a good one Stew.

How many million tourists come to Aber each year exactly?

And where do they stay bearing in mind there are only 347 hotel rooms in the whole area?

Although the tourist industry has been in decline for many decades, Aberystwyth is going through a mini boom.

quote: For hundreds of years Aber's had an inordinate number of pubs - over 50 at the moment. A dipsomaniac's dream town. The compact town centre has led to a particular form of the 'art' called the 'crawl' - where revellers have a drink in one pub and then move on to the next pub. For three or four evening a week the town centre is vibrant throng 'crawling' between pubs. The extra bright street lighting (an aid to the new network of CCTV cameras) adds a surreal quality to the night scene.

Can anyone else make it to London on the 29th June, 6th or 13th July?

Kent.

Getting anywhere on the M25/M1 is a nightmare, and the trains require getting to Charing Cross/London Bridge, crossing London to King's Cross/Paddington, then getting a train to a location north of London.

Geez... honestly.

I did it last Wednesday, Blackheath to York in under 3 1/2 hours... piece of piss.

I've lost two hours just today waiting for trains...

On the way down, the signalling outside York went haywire, apparentely, and then there was a freight train derailed at Peterborough causing all hell (when we got past Peterborough station I counted seven trains stuck waiting at successive signals waiting to get through).

On the way back, I got on the train at Kings Cross just in time, the doors shut, everything was ready, and then... nothing. The train apparentely just decided it couldn't be arsed to move. So, half an hour later they decided to use the train next door instead, and finally we got away...

Anyway, the tube was fine.

Bet you weren't expecting that kind of rant...

That shows it takes an hour just to get to Orpington. You could save at least 30 minutes each way by driving to Orpington.
