Cheers for the suggestions. Will probably do that. The suity thing is out I am afraid. I PM'd him but he said he is going to be away at a Brass-Rubbing Festival in Stow-on-the-Wold, staying overnight at Liddle-Piddling-in-the-Lobby!!

I stayed in a very nice hotel there. I'd got caught on my way back up north by the local going-to-the-pub-traffic so decided to stop overnight.

Found it - the Fosse Manor Hotel. It appears to be part of a chain now; back then it was privately owned. Good food, nice room, friendly bar, lovely breakfast - just the thing after a week's hard coding.

I know there's the mk centre so you've got cinema and restaurants etc... there. So that would kill a few hours.

I spent a few of my formative years in MK. It's the suicide capital of Britain, or used to be at least. I presume the Prodigy are playing the bowl?

The cinema, which is an 80s modern thing in the shape of a pyramid, used to be called the point when first built, and was I believe the first "multiplex" cinema in Britain, but I think it was easy cinema last time I was there. That was a few years ago, I expect the carpet has been redone in burberry check by now.

As I recall, stony stratford (Stony Stratford, UK - the Jewel of Milton Keynes) is the "posh" bit. Bletchly Park might be worth a visit if you are early and like that sort of thing.

Or Swindon

Oh come on.............Swindon is not that bad. It is where I met Mrs SB.
No............you're right................

In my experience Port Talbot isn't on the way back to anywhere.......

Unless you are going to hell and beyond!

You've never been to Port Talbot then?

Like Norr says... MK Centre.... Xscape if you fancy a bit of skiing.....
Poddle out to Olney and there are a few nice pubs for a meal.... (well there are obviously other decent pubs as well but Olney is a piece of pish to find.... just follow the A509....)

If you've got several hours... you could go and see Suity in Luton.....

Oh Oh Oh Nearly forgot.... You could spend a few hours in Ikea!!!
