is that the place with the cheese souffle? if so it is indeed very
nice. there is also a perfect pub in edinburgh, scotland[1] but our
meetings are too large for it.

I'm not entirely sure I can remember. Might have been the Orange
Tree. Real ale pub, always has a couple of milds on, big back room
(where we gathered with a detached house in the North's worth of
acoustic guitars, a few top notch singers and generally had a whale of
a time.)

Um. No. That was near Newark, which is in Nottinghamshire. As opposed
to Chelmsford, which is in Essex. I know they're both outside zone 6,
but really.

I think that the rest of it is accurate, although not necessarily to any
particular scale. I notice that Hastings is not on it. Was there a plan
ever to invade Hastings?

PS Note that Newcastle is seriously north. Leeds is 100 miles down south
   when you're in Newcastle. And there's still 60 more miles of England
   north of Newcastle. (And both the roads and trains are slower there, so
   it /will/ take you an hour to cover that 60 miles)
PPS Topic? what's that?

You know you loved it.  What were the names of the rooms at the inn?
The chipmonk suite or something?  And we did manage to do serious
expense account damage too.

Of course the most interesting part was the train ride as the Arsenal
