+1, hope you make it.
Sometimes, having a break for a few hours actually helps me get stuff done.
Subconsciously, you think your way round it from a different perspective, while enjoying the scenery rolling by.........

Anyone up for brekkie here
http://www.crowncarveries.co.uk/thenewb ... on/findus/
(Never been there, just been trawling t'internet).
Web page states they do breakfast from 9.00 on Sunday, as much as you want for £3.99.
Safer to give them a bell & make sure - I'll do that if anyone's up for it
Only a few miles off everyones probable route along M54 from J2

Thought I'd mention I can't make it, still on University visit duties, not on Sunday but I'm knackered and so is my Petrol fund, hope you have a good day.

Could one of you lovely chaps please take some pictures of their Lincoln, particularly the tail turret if it's possible - that's where my dad used to sit (and freeze his chocky bar against the window).
Got my camera batteries all charged and 2 empty 8gb memory cards all ready for Sunday

Splendid!

Thanks again mate!
Oddly enough I'm charging batteries too, for my cordless drills because I have to do a job of work where there's no power - in a cemetery

Hope you boys have a lovely time! Unfortunately it's my weekend with the children (that's 5 children in total, ranging from 3 year old twins to a nearly 9 year old) so it goes without saying, although Miss Pug could and would take us up there... there's no way I'm going to spend the day shouting and willing the children to shush up, stop running, stop shouting, stop fighting with each other, stop whinging for toys etc etc etc
Such pleasant little darlings eh?
