I have a lasting monument to the problems with call centres from the days before internet banking.  After paying a VAT (Value Added Tax) bill my statement showed a payment made to "Customers and Exercise"   Huh

Portsmouth Harbour {PMH}: The Lady Hamilton.

Small pub/bed and breakfast. Excellent value and the roast dinners (served every day) are fantastic.

Can vouch for that - stayed there in 2011, although not - as far as I know - at the same time as BNM!

{PGN} Paignton

Stayed at the The Ashleigh Guest House in 2010.  It is between the railway station and the seafront and overlooks the Paignton & Dartmouth steam railway.  Bright and clean with a very attentive host - who even remembered my name throughout my stay.  Excellent variety at breakfast, mini fridge in the room, good choice of channels on room tv and a decent lounge if you don't want to sit in your room.

Very reasonably priced, especially out of season.

Noticed a sign next to the Reading gateline this morning which said that filming was in progress for a new Channel 5 documentary on Great Western Trains. Also gave advice on what to do if you didn't want to appear in it!


You beat me to it!

Wouldn't be the yellow peril Network Rail HST (High Speed Train) Measurement train that I saw in the yard at Exeter this morning would it?

the Pie Shop.

Are you referring to Sweeney & Todds in Castle Street?  Excellent tucker there.  Meanwhile the Hobgoblin is now known as the Alehouse.

I appreciate you should "arrive" at a station in good time to buy a ticket - what are the rules if you have a ticket from A to B but due to a change of plans you need to change at B for a train to C.  If your first train is delayed and there is no one selling tickets on it and you arrive at B with less than the connection time allowed would you then be allowed to purchase a ticket on the second train without penalty?

You couldn't make up the fact that the cat belongs to a retired train driver could you?  This is Plymouth lists the complete diagram the cat travelled.  If no one posts it before me I will cut and paste it when I get home.

Chris,

Does this help?   Grin

Well the Up Cornishman and the Down Armada and Golden Hind do - so that is a start!

Nice to see St Austell Brewery's Tribute ale still on the menu.

Totally agree.  Grin

Proper Job!  Grin Grin
