Stayed at a B&B on the Dorset coast this summer. Very nice place. The couple were both IT consultants who where originally in London who sold up to buy the B&B. They operated at 3/4 full (cos they didn't want to over work) for 8 months of the year, taking the rest off... sounded very nice.

The limo driver at BA was ex IT. I had a good chat with him thanks to a BA flight arriving two hours late at Heathrow ( 1am) (Easyjet wouldn’t have facilitated that!)Originally posted by Jeebo72 View PostStayed at a B&B on the Dorset coast this summer.

A few B&Bs the same. I have two plan Bs on the go, both non IT but I can't say what because it is a niche market."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
