A prison cell with a cellmate who snored and insisted on have a dump in the middle of the night.

Cool smiley.

Whipping stocks not so good, but beer exceptionally cheap.
I wonder which nutter you were in the Roebuck

Never made it to the Bells although drove past it every day wondering if I should pop in.

Nice sausages in there.

Nighty night SY.

[suityou01]

So did we, a couple of times.

That Whipping Stocks place is horrible IMO. I liked the Bells of Peover. Richard and Judy had their wedding reception there in the 80's you know.

I did stay opposite Radbroke barn (opposite Barclays) and drink in the pub round the corner (The whipping stocks I think)

Mostly drank in the Roebuck in Northwich with Mad Tim.

I assumed Barclays. Ex lived in the area too, so know the it well.

Probably not, Knutsford is a big place.

Seriously unless you worked at AMEC or drank in the pubs in Northwich I doubt it.

Blimey, wonder if I've actually met you, then.

Working on a gig last year in Knutsford and I was staying in a B&B and got very bored after 3 months or so, so this bloke in the pub everyone called "Mad Tim" was looking for lodgers in his 6 bed queen ann mansion. Linky

He lived up to his name, as he reckoned his alsation was an ex MOD dog that only spoke Italian, had late night hoovering parties with his elderly mother (who he doted on) and would drag me out every night to see bands in the local pubs.

A glorious 6 months of beering it up and talking bollocks until 4 am.

Halcyon days.

LOL - I thought I had seen some stuff.. I see it from the other side.

Two clients came from overseas - never used sheets before and both slept straight on the bare bed. It was quite bad - I had to buy new beds. They had gone a funny brown colour. They actually refused to use sheets even when we offered to supply them.

One lady moved into a fully furnished room with all frills, furnishing and rugs etc - moved out and took everything ..... even the curtains!

Lovely house share in Tamworth - 3 sets bunk beds in the two double room, and one bunk bed and a single bed in single room! (21 people in 3 bed semi) Ant powder sprinkled around each persons belongings on the floor. Downstairs floor so sticky that my shoes nearly got left behind.

Ant powder ... ewwww

Ibis opposite Legs 11 strip bar in Birmingham.

I've stayed there. Rank.

There is an even worse Ibis round the corner.

WHS.

Hotels in the UK are revolting ripoffs. Even the £200 a night ones are on the whole revolting, dirty and cramped.

WHS

I'm often bemused when I have to part with £150+ for one night and still do not get my breakfast. Last worst experience was at the best western somewhere in Bedfordshire...

It is not until you travel outside the UK do you realise how overpriced UK hotels are.

At a backpackers in Sydney which turned out to be pretty much a halfway house.

As part of a group of four, we got there to find someone threatening to stab the owner as he was being chucked out for doing something wrong. The owner had a spider's web tattoed on the bridge of his nose so it was a brave move. Then one of us had to swap our bedsheets as soon as they got them as there were specks of blood on it.

Of our roommates, one kept an ashtray under his pillow, bragged about outstaying his visa for three years and would get hammered and forget where his bed was. The nicest blokes were two brothers who were both recovering heroin addicts who had been sent to live there as part of a programme.

Anyway for some reason we paid for a week. Happy days!

Changes to the law a few years ago around planning for caravan parks made the land astronomical. You can sell a static caravan like a house and then charge back electricity, site fees etc.

Went to an auction a few years back where a site came up for £300k (30 caravans or so). It went for £3.5 M due to a change in the law. My mate who owns a building firm was livid at me for not telling him, he reckoned it was an easy £4-£4.5M

Lend us some cash DP

must have missed that one on homes under the hammer
