[joggerjayne]

As I spend most of my life on the 25, it wouldn't be my idea of fun.

However I did quite enjoy this book from the library!

Is it funny, H ?

I know a guy who booked a mystery tour from Skegness, where he had his caravan. It ended up in his home town; Sheffield.

[Hopkirk]

No, but it does answer a lot of those questions you ask yourself about things you see, but know nothing about.

JJ...spent hours on the m25 when living in STAlbans...no thanks !!!! still up for a charrabang trip with all my fav ABers though..you could start in Brighton head north sweeping us all up on the way....over to Edinburgh then cross to Glasgow...the more northerly folks can come down to meet us at the airport ..then it's all over to Sqad for sangria...sunshine..and s......omething else !!!

[joggerjayne]

LOL

Why would a tour go to Sheffield?

Or round the M25, I suppose?

I imagine the good people of Brighton and Hove could do with a little excitement, plus they're getting to see the real world.

[Hopkirk]

I wouldn't mind a day out in Brighton.

The closest I have been is driving past the Amex on the way to Eastbourne.

[joggerjayne]

What do you mean "the real world"?

I've been to Haywards Heath !

[joggerjayne]

I just SO wish it wasn't called The Amex!

My girlfriend asked me how long I was going to be gone on this tour.
I said 'the whole time'. :-)

Went on a 'mystery coach tour' one evening when on holiday the driver went round a bit of IOW countryside and brought us back to the pub opposite the bus station

[Hopkirk]

Must have wanted a drink himself then, Rowan.

My wife and I once went to East Germany (before the wall came down), and the Berlin tourist office offered us a bus tour of local building sites. It didn't appeal to us, so we never actually tried it, particularly as we were told that the rest of the bus would be occupied by a school party.
