Dude !!!
What happened ?
There is a pub right opposite the entrance to the park , The Kings Head, or one actually on the entrance 'The Lion Gate Hotel' probably a bit posh for us though !!

Well i guess we've not organised it properly then......
There are other customers to the pub, the car park is not massive, we would take over the whole thing.
The LL probably wouldn't want us to take drinks into the car park, so we would be flitting between car park and pub, not great....
Bushy Park it is then....

Walking to the pub wont be a bad idea, not as if it's a long way away 
Plus I need the exercise from sitting behind this desk all day

Stupid mistake - my fault entirely... didnt quite judge the overhang of a skip correctly so now I have a collection of scars on the boot area of the car.
Will get it sorted when funds permit

I have exactly the same scars i reckon......
Day 1 of owning the car, popped into Kingston, reversed into a parking bay, slight overhang at the back. Remember i was used to driving a Honda CRX which is about half the length....
'Clunk' - i hit the overhang !! instead of pulling forward to look at the damage, i jump straight out, thereby releiving the suspension of my 85 kg body weight, hence it rises slightly (while still stuck under the overhang) and makes it that much worse....
So i leave the car there , pop into Hellfrauds, to get a touch up stick, get home, paint it on, looks good while wet, soon as it dries its a different shade of white.......
Nightmare.

Am looking forward to this afternoon.

it was great to see everyone - once we managed to get through the chaotic traffic and found somewhere to park.

Yep, good to meet you all, new faces and old. Traffic was better than it looked on the way out the park too.
