    Here is the info again Doc

    Click and drag to the top of the page to open in a new tab....you can check it has worked by firstly just clicking then 'Tools/Page info' and you will see the referrer ...then do the click and drag, then Tools/Page info and you will see the referrer is no longer shown....hth...

    Good job I popped on to see if I could catch up on posts...have been so busy, shopping for last minute holiday stuff, been fishing lots of days too and cycling when possible.

    Also wanted to give you an update re 25 Beautiful Homes mag....it is in the shops now, just got a copy in T's.....my son's house is the Cottage in Surrey....there is a small pic of his house with snow on the roof and garden( this was taken a couple of years ago) and then over 4 pages there is an article and a lot of pics of the interior,with a few prices of the things in it...you'll die when you see how much he paid for his bath( not the bathroom ....just the bath......£3,750., excluding taps they were £795..omg!!!)There is a lovely pic of my DIL baking in the kitchen, and there is a large cockerel ( not a real one, this one is ceramic ) on the floor....I bought that !!!:DSo go on be nosey and take a peek next time you're in the magazine section....

    :wave:Good Afternoon. Blue is here :j:jCW IS joining us for the meet up :j:j

    I have just telephoned this place http://www.redhot-worldbuffet.com/buffetfood_manchester.html they have disabled access and toilets on the same floor;)

    Let me know your thoughts on it everyone.

    The only thing is that they have times when you have to leave your table, but if we went for the early time then they have a small lounge we can have a coffee in or there is coffee places on the street we can then go to or we could go for a coffee first and then everyone can go straight to the station for their trains if we did the 2pm time.

    It is about 10 mins walk from the train station (I'm told;)), but people can either get a taxi or a bus together to it. If there is 5 or 6 for the taxi it shouldn't cost much (hopefully).

    Table times are 12/12.30 leave by 2pm, 2or 2.30 leave by 4pm (they shut at 4pm).

    Sorry lurking today as so much to sort out at home...:o

    I do not know about the food at this place. But if you want to get there from the Piccadilly rail station, there is a shuttle #1 which will take you there free. You can alight either at the stop in front of Tesco Express on Deansgate or in front of M&S and walk back.

    I would love to join you drivel gals, but then I am going away that weekend. :)
