Anyone near the Yeovil area in the UK?
Anyone out there in this area? If so, I may be in that area soon and we can link up for a drive and a pint or something.

Well there is a big Navy Base there, a Sailor ?  Or is that Yeovilton?
OK we give in ... please not one of Ken's guessing games.

Re: Anyone near the Yeovil area in the UK?
I am not at liberty to discuss what is bringing me there, however, I learned tonight that it looks like I will be there on Sunday March 8th, leaving on Weds March 11th. If all goes as planned I will be in Milan Italy on March 11th leaving on the 13th or 14th, not sure which yet. I've been told that I will be pretty busy during the days, but that evenings are pretty open. I won't be at the naval base, but isn't Yeovil inland? or can you put a naval base anywhere in the UK because, well it is an island after all?

Re: Anyone near the Yeovil area in the UK?
Of course it is the first Cayman vs. Helicopter challenge.
Seriously though, is there a particular evening everyone would like to try and shoot for to get together?

Hey Ken, whilst in the UK do stop by the Tesco and pick up a can of Spotted **** for me, eh?
And if you have room in your bag, some Branston Pickle and a couple bricks of mature Irish cheddar would be lovely!
TIA
