I think pin stripe suits & bowler hats are quite natty.

It's that time of year when the focus of life turns to the family & Cristmas.....bleurgh bah humbug.

I know I have to suffer it all & even be polite to the outlaws so that I don't get too may comments regarding the annual pilgrimage. What is the most outrageous thing you lot have to do to earn a weekend ( well OK maybe a week long) pass?

ps getting divorced is cheating.

If you are looking for a cheap crossing (and that's my second favourite price) try TML ferry Newhaven/Dieppe.

Only cost me £40 for the bike last year compared to £140 for Brittany Portsmouth/Caen.

One word of warning it is cheap & a little nasty. Watch out for the carrots in the baked beans at breakfast. Bizarre, but then that's what Le Mans is all about.
