    I*M Portsmouth - B&Bs

    Just got a new gig working for I*M in Portsmouth, office is at North Harbour. Anybody worked there and do they have any good B&Bs/Hotels etc to recommend?
    Just sliding through ..........

    Good luck. I worked there some years ago, bit of a tulip hole it is. The town can be full of single mothers on certain days - try to find one to shack up with, it`ll be cheaper than a B&B and just as nasty

      Portsmouth is the only place I've been where even the women are ultraviolent.

        Yup, but can I claim one as a business expense?

          Rent in Winchester only a 30 minute commute.

          Fox & hounds near Swanick is nice this time of year if your feeling peckish...

            Yep Winchester is the pick of the places to live round there (and I live there). Plenty of nice pubs there too.

                Sub 5 miles, and depends on the time of day.

                  Take out some extra life insurance. Portsmouth = Knife City

                    There is no reason to stay in Portsmouth itself and I would look further away if I were you.

                    I was a little bit upset when the Tricorn Centre was demolished. It should have been kept as an example of how not to build a shopping centre.
