Sounds like a grinder story to meOriginally posted by GJABS View Postbut if you dig a hole or two, get on your knees, and have a good sniff of the soil, I reckon you could still inhale a few spores of the stuff..

Pay Anthrax Island a visit, in Scotland. They reckon they've decontaminated it now, but if you dig a hole or two, get on your knees, and have a good sniff of the soil, I reckon you could still inhale a few spores of the stuff..

Already booked - and we wanted a particular place as it's near friends (without imposing on them).Originally posted by WTFH View PostI could get you a house in Charmouth (near Lyme Regis) for less than that. Sleeps 6-8, great views over Portland Bill, lots of walking, good local pubs, etc etc

My inertia - partly due to me knowing about the virus, partly because I'm disorganised meant I avoided Milan at Easter. See my post above for why that turned out to be a doubly good reason.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostYeh, me and loony lady friend were thinking of booking summit a few weeks ago. Not so sure now. Wonder how many travel companies will go broke.
My parents set off on a 40 day cruise round the Caribbean and then to Spain on Thursday - I'm still unsure whether it will go ahead.
