    If you go to Premier Inn Airport South and ask if they can do a deal for 4 days a week for 6 months you will get it for around £45 a night which is the British Airways rate. Or you could blag it at the newer Manor Royal and ask for the Boeing Rate, they may ask for Id but they didn't for me.

    Some of the other B&Bs are dumps, I know cos I tried. PI at least are clean and everything works.

    Cheers Gibbon, I'll give PI a call.

    Tuesday night in Crawley is good, seems to be a long haul change over night and there's loads of 10s out and about.

    Along the Balcombe road, just east of Crawley, there's a pub called the Parsons Pig where the trolley dollies used to hang out. Before I got married, I used to go there pretty much most nights I was free, as there was lots of action. Early 90's, but I am reliably informed the action still occurs, with the added bonus of a premier inn behind (wasn't about in my time).

    Magic days.

    Top Idea?

    Possibly cheaper than Spare Room?

    Thank you, but it seems to be a 40 odd mile journey from Heathrow to Gatwick. I think I may have found the solution - spareroom.com! May have a gig that involves staying near Gatwick from Mon - Thurs night.

    Thanks again
