GOOD MORNING THREADJACK: which London airport is most convenient for the 18th bash, as I will most likely go straight from airport.

i will meet you and you can come for tea at my house.

it won't get you to the bash, but my battenburg cake has yet to be beaten by anyone at the womens institute.

# it's probably easier to get in from there
than stanstead

# seriously, probably heathrow
cos then it's straight* up the picaddilly line to king's cross. gatwick is a fuck, stanstead is worse.

*well, i say straight, 45 minutes, 197 stops, busking iranian children and hammersmith isn't exactly straight...

# lol!
I shall keep this thread and ponder the options vs price thing. To be honest though, I don't care if I have to sell everything I own in order to get there!

# If you can get
a flight to City airport, that's by far the closest. Otherwise it's much of a muchness really, go for the cheapest.

You should arrive early and come for dinner first though. Not a good place to be on an empty stomach.

Am arriving a little early and sneaking of with Dog, am just trying to avoid a huge train fare from Stanstead :)

# train fair is about a tenner in total...

I hate them, but this is neither the time nor place for principles
