Do it. I am sure South Lincs could find you a bed for a night or 2 and that it would welcome your free spending in several of its establishments

Cheers Tone, but I have no idea where this South Lincs place you speak of is?!?!

Nein. Why do you think Warsteiner is known as "wobbly"???

Personally I like the fact the UK has a Monarchy, I think the concept that the ruling Government can be over-ruled at any given moment by some doddery auld bat with a blue rinse makes it especially comforting. Especially as I have no intention of moving back there.

But to be serious for a second, I am gonna stand in support of Ally (on the Monarchy), as I am sure the burden of the Monarchy is not as great as it is stated here. Tourism generated by the quaintness of the Royal Family, as well as the history of the Royal Family can not be discounted. However anyone who wants to visit anywhere within 10 miles of Slough for any reason whatsoever escapes me somewhat.

Would be a weekend for me,......if I was halfway thinking of making it over the pirate infested waters of the English Channel.

I'm rather partially to the bubbly stuff produced around the Champagne area, as you would appreciate that the chardonnay grape is used in the production of fizzy French drink..... 8) 8)

Champagne is a funny thing, sends me nuts.

You have the national variations as they can not call it Champagne, and to be quite frank Euro for Euro it can be waaay better. A good Spanish Cava can be excellent, however a German Sekt is usually not so great.

What shall I have for tea by the way, the choice is massive as I have nothing so must go to the supermarket.

I am booked for a week in Saalbach Hinterglemm in mid-December, planning a long weekend at the Hintertux in October, looking at Grindelwald for a few days at Christmas again and trying to decide between Saas Fee and Zermatt for New Year. Might be off to Singapore with work in Feb, in which case I will aim for a week in Japan as a stop off.

Actually, I spent a good few hours this weekend with a map, calender and my crayons attempting to figure out how and where I could get 45 days out the season :)
