Anyway, same rules as last year. 3 companies and then points for stuff. Go check if you can't remember (i can't remember).

They were saved last year as far as I know. BUT I have a feeling they will be dead by the end of the year.

Oh bugger. I'll have Greece then.

(I was going to select The Hermitage, a dire restaurant in Folkestone that served me rotten fish and then tasteless venison, but it appears that they also beat me to it!)

Any particular reason for Hornby? A fond part of my childhood (original and current). I'd be sad to see them go.
