I almost hope it's raining or very cold cos Bev doesn't do pillion in either type of weather so problem would be solved. (I really want the weather to be fine and warm).

I don't envy you having to choose!

My only advice is, eventually your daughter WILL leave home, so she can't make your life Hell for ever!

What time do you plan on blasting past junction 7 of the M6 Smeggo. I can linger like an old fart on the huge roundabout there. Then if you would be so kind as to pop off the motorway only to pop back on again i can see whn you pass, if you get my drift??? Then if we time everything well enough, can merge with Drew and Co. when the M5 hits the M6. Sounds flawless to me.

I'll meet you at J7 too mate - 8:30-8:45? About 20 mins up to Telford services from there so we should be in time to get petrol, etc?

As flawless as when we were supposed to meet at J5 southbound to go to Germany and we ended up meeting at Corley services?

Yep, i think aim for between then. That gives us time to pootle up the M6/M54 then have a relaxed coffee at Telford. Aim to leave about 8.40...
