P&O have had Brasserie for several years, although see now that the word 'Langans' has been dropped..... Menu looks same though!

No black pudding and they are in serious trouble.

Weather forecast changed again. Will stop looking at it until about 0830 sunday!

It's OK for you early ferry-goers. Two of my lot don't finish work until 5-30 on Thursday then it's down from York for the DFDS 00-30 hours from Dover to Calais. Drive for a couple of hours away from the asylum seekers and pull in for a few hours kip before onward to Spa by late morning. Just hope the onboard 'restaurant' is open at that time.

Nice one Iain - didn't know you were a wandering minstrel as well as a pro race driver.

Gordon, I'll be round to sample some of your southern brew - which paddock are you in?

Don't anyone tell him that we're in the Shopping centre, anyone that does will have their post removed and an infraction added for divulging the whereabouts of the Larkins.

Spotted a red/white MGB, towed by a silver grey Transit camper van near Berck sur Mer this morning. Someone taking the scenic route by any chance?

Circumstances dictate that I'll only be making a day trip on saturday this year but hope to catch up with some of you.

....and yes, la plage was very pleasant!!

Good luck one and all. Have a great weekend.
