    If you try each possible entry and exit, that should kill off all your time between meetings!

    You could always meet up with Chetty for a few bevvies to discuss the future of the NHS? I'm sure he said he's heading up some huge security project there...

    SERIOUS suggestions about what to see in Swindon???? Must admit I have only been there twice on visits but I think the Swindon City sign must be the highlight. On leaving.

    The 'ghosts' are just poor souls from 1935 still waiting to be served.
