I shall now be in attendance and dragging the good lady down with me for good measure, expect Tronda appearance.

@Richard - It would appear we are both going past Chesterfield on the same trip now, could be fortuitous for engine collectionantion?

I use the term "past" in a very vague sense 

[beko1987]

So, anyone else staying at the beautiful looking RoadKing before I book it? Premier inn is too expensive, the travelodge M6 southbound was a twat to find last time and still many minutes away from breakfast...

[outlaw118]

Stayed there the other week when myself and Blind Trev came up for Civil War.

It's OK, really, think I paid £49 for a twin with en-suite, it's clean, and you're only going to be kipping there, go for it.

[beko1987]

Aye it looks suitable enough, especially as I don't need to have breakfast there!

Will get that reserved then (did they take contactless do you remember or do they still trade in goats up north?)

You do know about the back road from the services? It makes breakfast about 7 minutes away on Saturday.

[outlaw118]

I paid the £20 key dipper as cash, but the room fee on my credit card which isn't contactless anyway. 

Think they had the facilities though.

Probably won't make this one due to skintness - ( Pet insurance claim taking forever) I'll do £70 in dizzle there and back, and the money-tree in my garden appears to have blown down.

Yes, I found that last time 

But road king is booked and is £6 cheaper and alot closer. Now for the usual ore cannock decision of do I leave Marlow with the car packed at 4pm Friday and get out of the car at cannock or come home and leave at 6/7 and get there for 9?

Money moved to a pot for breakfast, deathburgers and fuel, bed booked, excite starting!

Will print the £5 off voucher tomorrow for extra skinflint-Ness. Worst case I can transfer the money to my non broken barclays debit card for chip and pin glory outside in the car park before trying again

Sounds good, let me know where and when to turn up. There's someone I want to visit in Chesterfield, so I'll try to work it around that.

Usual suspects:
1. davidfowler2000
2. chaseracer
3. Inspector Morose
4. cms206
5. WIFE_cms
6. CHILD_cms
7. Sloth_in_a_bowl

I’m out.

[brownnova]

Tempted to mosey on down for some scram on the Friday... but that seems like a lot of too-ing and fro-ing... 

[beko1987]

I'll be too late for food but do intend on driving over to the pub once I've checked in for a Guinness if it's not too late. I won't know until the night though 

[davidfowler2000]

Beefeater is extremely busy for Friday. They said to phone back on Thursday in case there has been a cancellation otherwise it looks like it'll be two separate tables at different times.

What other options are there in Cannock? Just incase.

[beko1987]

Park bench and a 4 pack?

Shameless plug because I've just filmed the after video so it's now officially 4 sail

Fully refurbished

New belts on the clutch, new post filter, spotless pre filter, both tools. 

£50, providing it can make its way from cannock to yourself, via either yourself or shitely. PayPal or cash @ breakfast is fine

/self promotion over

I have a few random car and motorcycle magazines to give away, will bring along. Nothing particularly interesting but good enough to read on the bog. 

Also, any interest in the below?
