Forgive my ignorance of the finer points of English geography, chaps..........is it far from Norfolk to Cavendish ? ( Cavendish, I might add, I thought was a "who" rather than a "where"  :-[  )

So, how big a bribe to the driver are we talking, Brian? 1 jumbo bar of Cadbury's Caramel ? 2 of fruit and nut? Fresh cream cakes...... really good supper with wine..... ????
Pay the price, for goodness sake.......you can't leave Arthur to battle Mark singlehandedly for all the bargains :o

Maggi,

It's easy to distract Mark.  Just release a couple of bats into the building.  That'll keep him busy for a while, while you get the bargains!!! ;)
Cheers.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

He has just said "All that and more."  It's going to be an expensive trip!!  It's only about 65 miles Maggi.

Paul I'll remember the tip about the bats ;D

So, he and I have quite a lot in common then? Apart from the fact I have no driving licence . Which may be why I get out so little!
However, we will be off to Pitlochry for the Trough Day (and weekend visit with Julia !! YIPPEE!!!!!)so I will think of you bulb hunters in Cavendish  :-*

The Trough Day sounds more like a Gourmand's delight rather than an Alpine event.

Arthur, where is it written that one cannot be both a gourmand and an alpinist??  ::) Though I do prefer the appellation gourmet to that of gourmand ! ;) ;D
