      For me and P, this is thrilling news. 200 yards from home and about 50 from where SAKURA is currently sitting on hardstanding....

          Oh, and 100 yards from the offices, so hoping the roof top bar comes to fruition.... 🙂

            …and it looks like it’s temporarily closed. Something happen?

                                      @Giles that may be first article I’ve read in the Torygraph since it was only available in paper form.

                                      Made me a little sad. I know we rag on the place here, but I never find it anything other than charming, in a rundown, definitively English sort of way. Outside of IH, everyone I’ve ever met in Gosport has been smiling and friendly. Even in The Fox!

                                        I was chatting to a mate about it earlier, in fact the mate who send me the article. We agreed that Gosport is a honest little town, the concept of keeping up with the Jones is an unknown concept it has no pretensions and just about everyone is friendly. I'll take this over aspirational Ponceyvilles every day of the week.....
