Just two of us but we're thinking it's probably worth it. Think it was about £12 each way when we last did it.

if you want, i can pick you up. i will go past Kings Lynn on the way, so if that station is any easier for you, i could get you from there, or from peterborough.

sorry for the further hijacking, Jonboy

You're a star :D Kings Lynn adds quite a lot to the journey time and cost. Is Peterborough massively far out of your way?

its the other side of Crowland from my house, but on the scale of things, not too far. I couldnt remember the train routes from London in relation to Peterborough. when i went to London last, i looked at trains from Norwich, Thetford and Lynn, as they are all about 25 miles from home. Norwich was significantly cheaper and quicker. Trains are bizarre. I am used to living in the sticks, so i am used to there being no busses, or busses that dont turn up.

Let me know what time you plan to arrive, and i will work out where the station is and set my trusty friend the sat nav.


Jonboy, if you cannot make it, you will need to steal some of Mad Duff's Force, and put a shield round all the treasures you are planning to buy :lol:

Hels, don't forget he has to stop at McD's several times on the way! :wink: But then again, maybe the wife booted him out into the doghouse in advance? :P

I think Graeme got fed up with living in the shed at the bottom of his garden, so bought an HGV to live in when he gets sent to the doghouse. that way, he can bring his fish tanks to the shop to save on fish boxes and acclimatisation when he gets them home.

i hear these big new HGVs have beds, TVs and microwaves in, to keep the truckers happy on their long haul journeys. Luxury compared to the doghouse.

Seeing as Graeme thinks the Norwich mug is broken, could you print out a picture and sellotape it to a mug for him? what are his thougts on ferrari, too? one mug could give double the entertainment value :wink:

Graeme beat me to the shop so I think he must have left in the middle of the night like he said! :lol: He's on his way back up to Newcastle right now with a box full of Grrrr's. Plans are afoot for next years big LOL meet up with overnight stay and fishing trip! :wink:

Emma

P.S. Hels, how dare you, there will be no Ferrari mugs in our shop! :shock: :lol:
