Leamington Spa- Where are folk staying? :D

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Thanks everyone for the help in the ticket hunt! :D
Great excitement abounds!

Just wondering if/where people are staying?

I've booked the Holiday Inn which is just about the only place which wasn't totally booked out and didn't look like a bit of a scarey/stabby bnb (who advertises their BNB with black and white line drawings instead of photos- frightening!) :D


*please feel free to move this if I've posted in the wrong place. I am incompetent :D

Aye, Googly maps says its about a mile? I don't mind taxi-ing, you can always depend on taxi drivers for a bit of banter.

Apart from ones in Nottingham -

Me: Robin Hood is from Nottingham, isn't he? I love Robin Hood! Do you like Robin Hood?

I'm supposed to be staying at the Thomas James with every other poor soul.

I suspect I'll wake up in a tree.

It's only Leamington Spa. What could possibly go wrong?

I've gone for the Thomas James, too.

Sleep, however, will be very much optional.

I think the Thomas James was booked out? I am sure I looked at it with a view to booking? Hmmm :) Most things within a two mile radius were fairly well booked out :)

Leamington is afraid. Very afraid. :eek:

There will be extra Police on every corner, trained in dealing with the goff element and taught to recite 'Moonchild' word for word instead of using pepper spray or tazers. Allegedly.

You'd be suprised how often that'll work. Even the most sinister, speed fuelled monstrosity can be stopped in his tracks by a well placed "It's righteous day move outta my way!"
