    Indeed. Though IIWY, I'd be mildly concerned
    about being described as the gateway to the
    gorgeous NW. It appears to involve a bed.

    That might work out. I fly out of Frankfort on July 20th, so have to
    get the bike to Heidelberg on the 19th. I'll have camping gear.

    In 1970, I spent 2 weeks in India. Hated it. Couldn't stand the place.
    For the next 14 years I kept hearing people rave about it. I finally
    had to go back to see what I missed. Spent 6 months in 1984-85 going
    from one end of the country to the other. It really is an amazing
    place. Mindboggling extremes of human existence. People there _think_
    differently from you & I. Once I understood that, and learned a bit of
    patience, I had a great time.

    I'll agree with all that's been said already

    Really? You honestly think so?

    I stopped there for a bacon sarnie when I was working around that area.
    After 1/2 hour[1] I got my sarnie, and a bit of salad. I ordered a
    bacon sarnie, I didn't ask for and I didn't want fucking salad and if
    I'd been told it was going to be on the plate and I'd be charged for it
    I'd have walked out. I took it out and deliberately left it on the
    table not on the plate whilst making noises that a bacon sarnie is a
    bacon fucking sarnie and that's all it is, and that I didn't go there
    to be served poncy fucking food when I asked for something simple.

    [1] **** only knows why it took so long, because there were only about
    5 people in there and they'd all been served. I was outside chatting to
    a bloke on a Silk 700 so it didn't bother me too much, but I'd have
    been pretty pissed if I was in a hurry.

    No, 'you and I' is perfectly all right.

    Slight delay, I discovered the body's got a part used film in it so I
    need to get some batteries next time I'm in town to fill the rest up
    (which obviously requires lenses).

    The camera's what?

    In any case, I don't think the OP is going to give a toss about
    anything speed camera related while he's over here.

    Wot they said. If I'd lived elsewhere when I had my MHR, I never
    would've sold it. And seeing what they're worth these days, I really
    wish I hadn't.

    Scotland has many nice pubs, what it generally lacks is decent beer.

    A pub without decent beer is just a house.
