Re: Off for a few days
Hi Vernon
I will not be in Southampton unfortunately, I do know the Juniper berry. used to be a good pub with many `artistes` from UCL entertaining
The plane lands outside Soton in Eastleigh, my son will be waiting to take me home to his village in Hampshire.
we will only be there all day Saturday, Sunday and Monday then flying back Tuesday so not a lot of spare time.
Thanks for the idea anyhow.
Cheers
Brian
