      @Giles:

      Portsmouth has a historic policy of putting all the stuff that smelt or went bang in Gosport….

        Joking aside.  It's a sensible policy, if the bomb-making facilities or the fuel go bang, we don't take the navy with it too…..

          Thank you for clarifying.

          The free Security Guard Sounds quite Nice, the Pipline thing not so much, but i guess this is something no one notices anymore today.

          I read a lot of people here fly in Via London and take the Train and then the Ferry to Gosport, wouldnt it be faster to go via Southhampton Airport and then take a Rental, or is there stepping Stone I overlooked ?

            Nope, if you can fly into Southampton, that's really convenient.  Trouble is, if your plane home gets cancelled, there are not a lot of alternatives.  Happened to me once flying back from Amsterdam.  I had to overnight in a (shithole of an) hotel, if I had been flying into Heathrow or Gatwick, there would most likely been plenty of alternative flights home….

              Plus not every country has flights to Southampton…

                Gatwick>train>ferry is quite convenient, too.  Only brief walks at each transition, and IHUK is also only a brief walk from the ferry pier.  Though if you get tired, there are a few pubs along the way to renew your energy.

                    Bear in mind that you have to get a train from Southampton Airport into Southampton, then change and catch the really slow train down to Portsmouth Harbour. The online timetable reckons most will take about 1:20, with the odd faster option around 55 minutes.

                    Getting from Gatwick to Portsmouth takes about 1:40, so not much slower.

                    @Steffen, I do miss the convenient public transport systems in Europe. Outside of Melbourne, I don't think the Australians get it, though it's not as bad as LA.

                    I was surprised by the price of the apartment in Frankfurt, but I understand the city's got a nasty infestation of bankers, so it's understandable! 😃

                      It's a 25-minute drive with no traffic, though. So taxis are an option

                        It is really convinient indeed @Graeme but still the Politics want to one up it and basicly try and make it without blind spots all over Germany, lets see how that works out  😃

                        Thank you @Giles I did Frankfurt Amsterdam Southhampton once when my now Ex Girlfriend studied there and was A blown away by how fast youre from the Plain on UK Ground and B by how dead cheap Rentals are compared to Heathrow. The Point you made that this can easily go really wrong like in your case is of course Right, I have to carefully Check for Alternatives if I plan on doing it this way, Schiphol is an Odd Part of Amsterdam to get Stuck if you dont have a Hoovercraft on Hand  😃

                          We'd pick you up from Southampton Airport - if visiting us was part of your agenda - don't want you wasting beer jeans money 🙂 🙂

                              Some moron was walking a stroller full of children right down the middle of the street by my house while gabbing on the phone. I mean not trying to stay out of the way of traffic even a little.

                              We have sidewalks and people absolutely fly down that street. I don't understand what she was thinking.

                              Also, I'm over the heat wave.

                              Think it, be it.

                                Yep I am completely over the heat the U.K. is having!
                                Haven’t worn jeans properly in weeks and generally feel a sweaty mess most of the time!

                                      I’m in the south east of Spain and it’s cooler than Oslo. I can do heat in Spain and Barbados and the like. Places that are built for it and have it year round. Heat in anything north of Italy and Spain is a nightmare.

                                        Doesn't matter where you are, when the temperature breaks 100F/40C, it's unpleasant.  And I don't want to hear any of that "oh, but if the humidity is low, it's not that bad" crap.  An oven has low humidity, too.
