    Honestly, went to a wedding party in December. Held it outdoors. Music, DJ, Marquee, the works.

    Just wanted to mention it.

    I know what you mean. I used to work in Farnham and on a roundabout on the edge of town there was a place that sold garden sheds.

    The guy who ran it used to sling up the most corny (but funny) advertising hoardings outside.

    My favourite was his Christmas campaign - "Rudolph the Shed Nosed Reindeer" - featuring a cardboard cutout of a shed with a red nose stuck on.
    Then there was "Feeling depressed, fed up, bored of life? Go on, treat yourself, buy yourself a shed!"

    I had so many near misses negotiating that roundabout on my way home some evenings.

    - nope I'm still waiting for requirements
    But I am spending my time familiarising myself with work already done and working out exactly how much a minute I'm earning.

    My customer did say it will be a slow start to this project, but the team are nice, and they sell reasonable coffee nearby.

    I was greeted with suprise when I arrived on Monday morning as there was 2 whole inches of snow on the ground! They didnt expect me, but I travelled down on Sunday, so as to be in on time on Monday.
    We're used to snow up north

    I did hear of an actor complaining that the camping shop in Stratford-upon-Avon had an ad reading "now is the discount of our winter tents", which made it very difficult for him to do Richard III with a straight face.
