No mention of the Scots contingent? Are they not chartering a plane?

Exactly and the 3 that I have met have been good fun. Looks like next year's gathering will have to be halfway - How about Manchester? Obviously this is after the all expenses Caribbean cruise that Canadian_turtle has suggested

[Ms Thrifty]

I'm always game for a trip to Manchester! And for those on a budget and unable to afford a cruise (unless free), there must be a local option. Cruise on the ship canal or something?

Or a cruise down Canal Street

[Ms Thrifty]

Sounds as though some people might need a minder!

I take it that you have been to Manchester It's actually lovely down canal street, very friendly and anything goes. I can be the minder - I'm on the doors at the podiatry branch meetings so I have got bouncer experience

MsThrifty they do do cruises down the ship canal from Manchester - if we wear are swimwear and shades we can pretend that we're in the Caribbean

Sounds very promising, Diane65; now, how do we fake the Caribbean weather?

They have a rainy season .....

[Ms Thrifty]

In the Caribbean you mean, Jeanelle? Cos if Manchester, it's a non-rainy season I'd like to know about! (At the risk of incurring Diane65's wrath. And who'd want to get on the wrong side of a bouncer/minder/fixer and all-round omnipotent being?)

that's why I want to go, I've always wanted to go there since the days of Queer as Folk on the TV
