Sandbanks Restaurant, The Pavilion, Wear Bay Road - Sat 23rd Aug

Are you sure Hazel didn't register in both your names?

I wouldn't think the BBC would spam out invitations for something like this. We both registered (in our own names) though I didn't go for the competition aspect of it, so I won't get some researcher from Radio One seeing if I'm fun enough (and young ...

The Ringlestone is brilliant.

Poor old Fareham

This property hotspot list from The Independent is a bit harsh I feel. Not just that there's no room for Folkestone in their top ten, fair enough, but:At the bottom of the pile, in dismal 1,833rd place, is Fareham - the small town on the north-west t...
