Damn, and I was hoping she wouldn't bring that other person with her. I'll just suffer in silence, stiff upper lip and all.

Thanks for the responses and deposits folks - please keep them coming!

Pete - we did have a look around the Old Court House in Winchester earlier this year but it is a little too far away for most pals, I fear!

Sorry I won't be there, but could I observe that every time I see this topic header I become more irritated at the spelling of "Centre".
