re: Any news yet about tomorrow!!!

thats the question everyone is asking!

I am thinking that the only way to find out is to go there so I will drive up tomorrow and see...its an enjoyable journey if nothing else!

I will report back by the end of the weekend UNLESS it is really good in which case it will be a sicky for me on Monday :-)
