THE STORY SO FAR

Jez,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I can wait until Friday am.

Ps there is a flight to Southampton Sat am (gets in about 11.30) or Friday night and a return on Sunday, if at Simon’s is that better??

Regards



Buster

I may still get a yes if we can wait a little longer…

I really thought we’d cracked it this time. I’m really sorry. Can you get to Southampton airport?

Jez




Hi all,

In light of Jez’s most recent e-mail I am minded to just book a flight to London on the understanding that Simon will host!!

Does anyone know which airport is most accessible to Simon’s?? – can you please let me know via Regina’s e-mail (see above) as I am leaving work shortly.


Thanks

Buster Cox,


Typical.…Sophie is now thinking of christening Edward on the 6th of September as her sister is over from LA then. My decision to be decisive is falling around my ears. I had already broached the subject and had a probable ‘yes’, but a christening trumps it…not decided completely yet, but bloomin annoying. She will talk about it later.

Ho hum

This would mean I couldn’t do Belfast anyway. Trying to get hold of Simon. Andy – you weren’t keen financially on Belfast when I saw you last night.

Bollocks and sincere apologies, Jez


If the London guys agree we can look at options - we do not have to depart and come back on the same flight i.e. I would rather go out of Gatwick at 8:50 than Heathrow at 6:50 but come back Ryan Air to Stansted.
 
Jez, Simon, Andy, Paul - which days and where from
 
Also everyone so far is positive but we have not heard from all yet. Can we push people to get a reponse tomorrow?


I think I am ok to go Sat am and come back 1pm Sunday Heathrow for £83.

Anybody else want to do that, or should I just book it for me??

I’m also fine with a B&B – appreciate reasonable quality. Rather pay a little more than cheapest for decent bed and good brekky!

Hi all,

As James is unfortunately not going to make it – shall we have the auction in Belfast. There are flights to Belfast City (my nearest airport) from Doncaster or Leeds/Bradford Flybe(for those Northern types). I have just checked and there is a flight from Doncaster on Friday afternoon (approx 2pm) and return flight on Sunday that leaves at 1.05pm and they are both £0.00 (i.e. just paying the tax).

Alternatively there is a flight from Leeds on Friday 8pm or Saturday 8.30am (£9.50 or £0.00) respectively with a return flight at 12.20 on Sunday. If you came on Sat am and returned on Sunday afternoon flights would cost £65 return if book now.


For the Londoners there is a late flight Fri am (£5.50) or early Sat am (£0.00) from Gatwick and a return (more expensive) in the afternoon (£35). Total cost for Sat am and Sun (afternoon flight) is at present £90.

Alternatively from Heathrow with BMI there is a very early flight Sat am (£39 inc tax) and a return 1pm on Sunday (£44 incl tax). Please note flights for Friday pm are already very expensive (£180).

I can arrange BB (there might be room at Chez Cox for some – I will need to check with the better half about her plans)

I am going away this Friday and would need to book my flights if decide to go to Simon’s instead.

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK. Is Belfast viable??
