During the meet just past the guys slept in my (finished) basement on cots. They were willing to sleep on sailors racks aboard a WW2 Battleship. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be comfortable with "swanky"!

I'm all for going to the UK though. I'll start investing into my savings. (that sounds slightly like an oxymoron)

Of what.....the beans?
Oh, if you mean the venue then I'd nominate Oberon, he lives the closest to London. Double oh and let me state this from the beginning, my attendance will be subject to getting the time off and Neal turning up....I have a few things I'd like him to take back across the pond for some of those I met in Texas (especially the t-shirt brigade)

This years Meet was possibly the best example of that, hence my cautionary 'heads up' in my previous post. RL has an awful habit of throwing obstacles into the best laid plans when you least expect it.
