Tops! I'm already looking forward to it and EXCITED! > The location is Gloucester, which is about an hour and a half from > London by train.

If you're in London, be sure to visit "Cons Street": http://g.co/maps/z4rhs > And I must warn everyone that my wife is planning to bake Chicken-themed > cakes and biscuits.

Although I'm not sure how many UK people there are and whether it coincides with bank holidays elsewhere? Regards, @ndy -- andy...@ashurst.eu.org http://www.ashurst.eu.org/ 0x7EBA75FF
