Along with the majority of holiday makers heading to Cornwall. So you get to spend many entertaining hours sitting in queues on the A30
I don't know how people do that. I was always lucky in that I was always going the other way to the holiday traffic, as I came back to Cheshire on a few bank holidays etc. Those holiday tail backs are huge! My brother came to visit once last summer and unfortunately drove down on the wrong day (Saturday, I think). It took him 10 hours to get to me! To give you an idea of how long he was held up for, it took him just under 6 hours to get home again! Blimey
I never got round to visiting Flambards, which is a shame because they had a Rolling Stones tribute on one night, "Rolling Stoned", which would have been good. I often saw light aircraft flying around with a "Flambards: The Best Day of the Week" banner behind it though. It was the butt of a few jokes as we were working
