    I hope you flew first class?

    I look forward to your "amusing" anecdotes about time difference, fat Devonians, etcetc.

        I was going to PM you to see if you fancied lunch tomorrow. I won't bother now - I doubt that even my scintillating company is worth a 400 mile round trip.

            I'm also the only person here! Is this normal, seems rather cheap to me.
            You are probably still getting that discount for being on the Devon Vulnerable Adults Register. Best keep shtoom and only inform them you have "made progress" once you get north of Taunton again.

As I came down at lunchtime, they've only charged me £5!!!! for today.

              Which town, out of curiosity?

              I have a key to a council-owned reading room in Dulverton, should I ever need to hot desk.

              (although technically that is in Somerset)

                  Yes, many people have a soft spot for watching documentaries of emergency rescue teams struggling to carry morbidly obese people down flights of stairs on stretchers.
