Would be a laugh if we didnt win though..

lol, I'm pretty awful at trivia... I think my wife is better than me

Perhaps I should start playing some of my own games....

Dinner's on me if you make it Romeo... I treat FT editors whenever I stumble upon them

Terry, thank you very much for the generous offer but I'm afraid we shall have to decline. We can only stay for a couple of hours as I have to get up at 5.30 tomorrow morning for work. We will come over though, we should get there around 4.30 or 5.00pm.

I've just got back from 5 days in north Wales, which is worth a visit if you get time Terry, so have just come across this thread. Remember though that if you want to find 'Chippy' on streetmap or similar website, it's Chipping Campden - not Chipping Camden. Judging from their website, the good folk of Chipping Campden feel quite strongly about this

Well no town likes to have the "P" taken out of it.

Terry, it was great to finally meet up with yourself, Karen and the adorable Kira. It's just a shame that Jill and I couldn't stay longer. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Sherry, nice to meet you and Steve as well, two more faces put to names.

Was great meeting you 4 too! Thanks so much for entertaining little K while we ate

It's so cool to meet people from here whenever we travel.

What's a "p" between friends - a really pleasant evening and nice to meet all of you guys too. Spent the rest of the evening in the Noel Arms listening to a local fiddle group - along with an army of Japanese tourists - magic!

Nice to meet you all ! Kira was a charmer and had all the locals flirting with her (gonna be trouble in a few years me thinks...lol) Pie was good too, which is always a bonus. Enjoy the rest of your trip guys and watch out for those cycles and roundabouts...!

<Stamps foot impatiently>
I want to see the 'irresistibly beautiful Kira'. NOW!!

Check out family & friends Ren...

OOOh Thanks! (stops stamping) She is she is!

Well we had a wonderful day again and visited that wildlife park & visited some lovely villages.

We head up to Wales tomorrow to stay near Conwy in a medieval castle for a few days.

Then we head up to spend a few nights in the Lakes District (Ambleside), if anyone wants to meet up near there!

Terry

The Lake District is beautiful, I spent my honeymoon there.

How did K like the animals?
Bet she laughed !
Drive safely.

Still another couple of weeks before Terry & Co head South......

Yep Sypher, look forward to meeting you and anyone else then! Got a good suggestion for a place for a London dinner?

Depends on what kind of food you like. Considering you are staying in Mayfair....expect expensive!!

For eample - If you like Indian food, there is a lovely Indian restuarant 2 minutes away from Picadilly Circus. (reasonably priced).

I guess I will take the afternoon off from work....and I won't drive to the station (I don't drink and drive).

In the Southeast the roads were designed for the ox cart. On the extreme parts of Britain they were for packhorses - did you know the author Sir Walter Scott is supposed to be the 1st person to drive a wheeled vehicle through Liddesdale on the Scottish borders?
It is a bit late now but if you come again do not forget the National Trust - huge numbers of historic houses.

We actually stayed a couple of nights in Beckford's Tower near Bath.... beautiful National Trust building!

We certainly want to try some more on our next trip.

Hope Family Ford are ok and not been swept away by all the heavy rain in the north? and east, south and west. What a deluge!

Well..at least they have now seen what a British summer is like.....non-existant !!

Anyway, Terry...hope you see this and the PM i've sent you. Got the time booked off from work for Monday from 12 noon onwards. Just need to know when and where?

Looking forward to the meet up !!

Terry
Managed to miss you and family in the Cotswolds. Hope you're still enjoying Britain!

Hey folks, we're in Scarborough now. Heading out to the beautiful moors tomorrow. Had a lovely time in the Cotswalds and lake district, and had a quick trip up to Scotland.

Tons of rain but that hasn't bothered us much. To be expected on a trip to Britain
