Ded.....we also pitched up on Saturday afternoon.
It didn't help that the District/Circle line was temporarily suspended from Embankment - Earl's Court.... which they didn't point out until we were on the platform.
Agree with your comment about the "gangsta-types".... low turn-out this year, with bandanas on limited show.
Got roped in to a "presentation" for property investment, but after questioning the interest rates they were charging, asking for a copy of past service agreements (and how could the service company be replaced... what time scale, majority vote etc etc ), and querying if it was a flood plain they were building on in Davao, they gave me up as a lost cause.
Terpe .... we're also considering the Lancing "Beach Barrio Fiesta" as a week-end away.
We'd already pencilled in a w/end in Brighton with a few (filipino) couples, so this might be the ideal weekend.
I'll have to do a bit of research on guest houses, small hotels, B&B's along that stretch ... Worthing, Shorham, Lancing, Brighton.
