|

Will have to check the Yellow Pages and see if we have an ASK in Birmingham.
|
| Recommendation: Avondale house Hotel, Accommodation in/near York, Yorkshire, England Yorkshire | Added: 30/05/2006 21:11 |
Comment: This sounds lovely - don't you find these little guesthouses have so much more character than ultra expensive posh hotels?
In the past couple of weeks I've stayed in both a 4 star London hotel and a Hereford guesthouse - I'd definitely stay at the guesthouse again, but could take or leave the hotel really. It's, as you mention, the service with a smile thing.
|
| Recommendation: York, Yorkshire, England Yorkshire | Added: 30/05/2006 21:01 |
Comment: The Shambles is definitely the place I remember from my visit to York - along with the Jorvik Centre of course.

|
| Recommendation: Horniman Museum, Attraction (General) in/near Forest Hill, London, England Greater London | Added: 29/05/2006 19:33 |
| Comment: This sounds fantastic. When my two daughters were in buggies I remember thinking how child UNfriendly most places are - to actually find an attraction which encourages young children to explore is brilliant! |
| Recommendation: Central London, London, England Greater London | Added: 29/05/2006 19:23 |
Comment: I went on the Thames Cruise after going on the London Eye last week and I was astounded at how dirty the Thames is!

|
| Recommendation: Club Quarters, Accommodation in/near Central London, London, England Greater London | Added: 29/05/2006 16:20 |
Comment: Sounds like a nice hotel, and in my experience £8.50 is a pretty good price for a full breakfast in London.
How much did your room cost per night? I'm looking to make a return visit to the capital next month and this place sounds a lovely place to stay.
|

|
| Recommendation: RAF Museum Cosford, Attraction (General) in/near Telford, Shropshire (Inc Birmingham), England Heart Of Inc Birmingham | Added: 28/05/2006 16:27 |
Comment: This sounds a great idea for a day out closer to Fathers Day, I know my fella would love this place - and we're in North Birmingham so I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find.
Isn't it amazing when you find one of these free admission places, being as most attractions seem to charge the earth these days.

| Recommendation: Birmingham nature centre, Attraction (General) in/near Birmingham, Shropshire (Inc Birmingham), England Heart Of Inc Birmingham | Added: 27/05/2006 21:00 |

| Recommendation: Black Country Museum, Attraction (General) in/near Dudley, Worcestershire, England Heart Of Inc Birmingham | Added: 22/05/2006 22:46 |
Comment: It's amazing the way they shifted those entire buildings. When we visited last summer there was an exhibition on showing how much work it really was to get these important 'of the time' examples into the museum - it was a massive task and grossely underfunded, but haven't they done a fantastic job!
And yeah, I sooooo agree with you about the beer... |
| Recommendation: Romford Dog Track (Greyhound Racing), Entertainment in/near Romford, Essex, England South East | Added: 22/05/2006 19:33 |
Comment: I adore 'going to the dogs' - our local greyhound stadium serves the best jacket potatoes and cheapest lager in Birmingham!
The buzz of winning the huge amount of £2 is great too!
|
| Recommendation: Central London, London, England Greater London | Added: 22/05/2006 19:26 |
Comment: Blimey, that is an absolute bargain!
We spent a weekend in London last month and I thought admission prices for most attractions were astronomical - reckon I could have saved myself a fortune in admission fees if I'd known of the London Pass before we went! |

Is the fair still there?
|
| Recommendation: Edinburgh, Midlothian__Edinburghshire, Scotland Central & Stirling | Added: 22/05/2006 19:01 |
