Nope we were specifically directed to park in that very spot by an attendant as the place was totally packed and they had to open up extra areas.

Paul, The sun is always shining in Dorset, and the wallet being empty is due to how expensive everything is.

You are only up the road from me Paul, Ian 'Red Five' is in Weymouth, lookout for the red diamonds.

Enjoy your stay.

On a decent run I get 25 but pottering about it is usually 19 but when you are used to running an Interceptor that feels economical.
Another 65 miles and you'd have been at mine, keep that in mind next time and pop in past. Kettle is always on
