    He'd best be quick or I'll help you finish it, Corners. Did you get anything to drink? Or some crisps?

    Oh you're right in your first sentence Oliver, although I hadn't realised you'd been around CT long enough to have spotted that!

    We don't take chilren with us so I wouldn't have checked that. Still given the later correction from Phil, SB is just under a  tenner a night dearer then (and only 10 amp EHU!)

    Good game this! Smiley smiley.

    The village square is a seated area some under cover with a restaurant shop etc where you just sit and use WiFi

    A free central wifi is about all I need when on holiday.

    The 3G signal was also good there.

    I liked Burt. We agreed more than we disagreed. Always a pleasure to see him return.

    I've not been either husky as it was far too expensive when we looked. 

    It's on the list as a maybe if we go to the area but it's not a part of the world we are desperate to visit at the moment

    If there is no wifi a the caravan I will do without Ian. I have been on a few sites like this. Last one was during July last year at Stamford (AS). I did walk up to the cafe once and had a pot of tea whilst checking the weather forecast but other times not used at all.

    Your choice obviously, HD, but there are a number of very good CLs nearby which would welcome your custom - remember the mantra "use 'em or lose 'em"!
