    There was I thinking I was the only one in this god-forsaken town!! I always imagine the o'sers to live somewhere lovely and picturesque in Yorkshire within spitting distance of at least half a dozen butchers, haberdashers and bakers. I think we should wear a safety pin on our lapel at all times so that if we spot each other in Papersmiths or having a cheeky bacon sarnie in Mr Munch we can tip our hats to each other!!!

    Me too! Come meet up :) I haven't been to Mr Munch since it was in New Market Square (now somewhere under the foundations of BHS) but work about 50metres from Papersmiths so will lurk and leap on any safety pin wearers from now on!

    I'm another maybe - waiting on next lots of visitors to say exactly when they'll be here...so can I get back to you all?

    I might need to come by train depending if this dratted hand clears up or not - self inflicted injury as tripped over my feet!

    Moam

    I'm not sure how easy it is to get from you to Basingstoke by train. I know that I only ever go through Staines when they're doing engineering work and it seems to take about a fortnight to get to Waterloo...

    Rach - it would be great to see you if you are allowed out. I know you'll recognise soappie, who will recognise me, so we should all be able to find each other at the station!

    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
