Sounds good,
Need time and date etc so i can commit

or decline

Busy time of year work wise so cant say a defo yes

12-12-06, 09:49 PM

OK Normski, looks like you and I are definitely up for this. Can you put your **** on the block and lay down a venue, time and date? My lack of pub knowledge disqualifies me from making suggestions

I'm up for pub or cafe.

That'll give others something to plan against. If it ends up just being you and me Norm rest assured you'll get a pint (if pub) or toasted teacake (if cafe!) outta me.

BTW - Isn't it amazing that the Met Office can't put out a decent weather forecast for the Exeter area? They're right here! Just look outta the Goddamn window fellas!

IIRC theres a Yates in the pedestrianised area of Taunton and then round the corner somewhere opposite Waterstones I think but maybe a bit further along that road is a Wetherspoons as well.

Both are huge and should be easy to find if you don't know Taunton very well.

C--k on the block

ouch. After such treatment I may not be up for anything

Regards time either sat. afternoon or early evening (i.e. not leaving Exeter until 12.30 at earliest) or Sunday a bit earlier ( leave Exeter 11.30- 12.30)

Venue

Although I'm not a fan of Little Chefs we could meet at the Podimore one. It's on the A303 North of Yeovil where the A37 branches North towards Beenz (who left me to find out myself where Nam was

)

Anyone interested let us know your opinion on this please.

Fizzwheel your post came in whilst I was typing my previous one. Can make it Taunton if preferred.

Podimore

Great for me, i am sure fizz will agree

Beenz has the advantage that he knows where Podmore is, tis where we waited while Liz recovered Cuffy's pillion seat after it did its aerobatics on one of my rideouts. Also theres f*ck all at Podimore apart from a Little Chef, probably not best for a social meet up. Also its one of the worst Little Chef's I've ever been in, often they are out of all the good stuff on the menu and often its not cooked well. ( I used to drive the motorways of England for a living I know alot about Little Chef's

)

Theres also a Wetherspoons in Yeovil itself about 10 minutes away from Podimore, if you fancy that. It does mean going to Yeovil though

Don't pick something just to accomadate us, I've no idea what we're doing at the moment, Just pick a date and a location that suits the majority. If we can make it we will.

I know Podimore even less than Taunton! I don't like the sound of F-all there and fizzwheel makes the Little Chef sound awful! Taunton sounds good with a Yates and a Wet-her-spoons. What's parking like for those places? Yeovil could be a go-er too.

Well, someone's gotta make a decision so I'll say Taunton Wetherspoons at 13:00 on Sunday 17th Dec. I hope this satisfies enough people to draw a decent crowd?

Normski, this should be good for a 12:00-ish set-off from Exeter.

The forecast for Sunday? Sunny, dry, cold at 7c but not very windy at all. Lovely! C'mon!

14-12-06, 06:13 PM

Well, no-one's jumped on yet so I'll take the liberty of trying to change the time. Mrs has just dropped plans to go Crimbo shopping on Sunday on me. Common problem this time of year I guess...

How about Saturday, Same place, 1400? The weather still looks good. I think I may go whatever the turnout is!

14-12-06, 08:27 PM

Phil - Saturday will be better for me too! I'm working friday night which is why I wanted the later start but we could meet say 12.45 at Moto services (Granada) Exeter.
BTW the correct day for xmas shopping is the following sunday although the girls don't seem to understand this.

Anyone else out there
