And what exactly, Daniel, did you provide in that last quiz which made you claim that you got it partly right? Every Lear needs his fool I suppose.

I've just noticed your post was made after mine. I withdraw my apology, but not my witty riposte which had you in flowered muslin (in my imagination only).

Glenmorangie? I have spelt that wrong, maybe.

Fly to Stansted and jump in a taxi. £20ish gets you to The Bell.

Sorry, that bit is easy.
The getting back bit on the Friday before Xmas is bonkers. The flights have gone through the roof.
I might get a train to Scotland and get a lift over with Rachel's sister and brother-in-law!

EDIT: in fact I can do the return for £150. Early return but sod it. What's to lose?
