The other burger van is the airstream looking one that's in the smaller car park by the roundabout https://g.page/Route66BurgerBar?share. Not tried it myself but hear their food is better than at Mick's.

 

Mick's is the better place to meet.

As the SVM say: tradition, old charter, etc.

Following top level negotiations by a crack team of specialists, I have now scored permission for a Saturday burger meet up at Portsdown Hill.  So that'll be September 11th, 12 noon, all Shiters within reach will be welcome.

Bumparama as its this weekend.

Hopefully Mr Ramrod doesnt mind.

[eddyramrod]

Mind?  I'm delighted, thank you!  In fact I was literally just about to bump this thread myself.

As it's the 20th anniversary of 9/11 I'm seriously wondering if we should have a minute of silence at 2pm, the UK time at which it all kicked off.

[eddyramrod]

Wherever I am, this will be.  Most likely parked in a Disabled space.

[eddyramrod]

Setting off in the next couple of hours....

[chaseracer]

Let me know when you hit Cannock.  Then I can help you hit it again...

[Inspector Morose]

Aye, thee sun is shining and the red shed needs some exercise so I’ll be along.

[eddyramrod]

Cannock has been hit.  I'm going to see if I can get a spot of shuteye before we dine.

[eddyramrod]

Well I'm back in the room.  Splendid evening in the company of @chaseracer and @Inspector Morose, two extremely fine fellows.  More motorway tomorrow.

[chaseracer]

It was the most excellent of excellent things to see you, Mr Ramrod.  Good chats.

See you next Tuesday (no, really!) 😁

[danthecapriman]

Hope everything goes well Eddy, and everyone else.

Ill be on the road myself tomorrow heading in the opposite direction. Sorry to miss the meeting this time. Enjoy yourselves!👍

[eddyramrod]

I'll look out for caravans going the other way!

[eddyramrod]

And we are now settled-in at Fareham.  Nice chippy just round the corner too!

[mintwth]

Chippy round the corner and a TGIs nearer? 

[eddyramrod]

TGI couldn't be much nearer, it's on the same car park!  But I'm not keen on TGI in general, and MrsR didn't want anything anyway, so I just went and got an OAP portion for myself.  And very nice it was too.

[mintwth]

Always think that chippy is in a bit of an odd place. There can't be much passing foot traffic. 

If you're looking for a nice place for a wander near there then there's a small area of woodland tucked behind dunelm mill that's pleasant. Go past the chippy, b&q and into the bit where argos and dunelm are. There's a short flight of stairs down the left side of dunelm to a path and if you go right round the back of dunelm the access gate to the woodland is on your left, just before the path reaches road. 

[eddyramrod]

There was a time when that would have been a suggestion we adopted almost immediately  but, those were the days...  Neither of us is up to a lot of walking now (MrsR more so than me) so I'm afraid we will have to pass.  Been on a nice little ride round Southampton this morning though; going out shortly to see the granddaughters.  And their parents!

[Crackers]

Cock, I was going to swing by for a bit tomorrow, but I've been called into work last-minute. Start time? 12 noon. Oops.

[808 Estate]

Twas good to meet up with Eddie and Mint today.  Decent hotdog too.

Some random stranger turned up in this awesome AMC Rambler.

Cheers Eddie.

 

 

 

[eddyramrod]

Yep, just the four of us (including former Shiter Mercrocker) but a quality meet   Pics to follow when I'm home.  

[155V6]

Gutted to have missed this,but my broken ankle said no 🙁

[eddyramrod]

Cannock hit, again; we have dined well tonight.

[Inspector Morose]

Sadly I was busy being Ceri tonight so couldn’t make it over.

[eddyramrod]

Even @chaseracer couldn't stay long!  Never mind, I got to see some of the soaps, and remind myself why I never watch them.  Safe travels, @Inspector Morose
