    Dunk/Jenny/Dave/Neil/Tamara/Drunk Rob/Al/John/whoever might be staying at the Central travelodge:

    Us after-show London bus people who are staying at the travelodge found out that they have no left luggage facility, so when we check out on Monday we don't really have a place to stash our stuff- there's no luggage locker at the train station and I'm unsure about cloakroom facilities at the MEN. The bus won't come around until after the show, so we're unable to throw our stuff in there before the show.

    Is it at all possible that we leave our stuff in your rooms, so we can all walk back to the travelodge after the show, collect the gear, and jump onto our bus?

    Re-posted in the other Manchester thread too.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Wetherspoon's aren't allowed to play music :?

    I'll give the pub a call as soon as possible and see what the crack is. If need be, we can set Tamara onto the task of finding us another drinking hole...

    No idea about time as yet, I know people are getting to Manchester at various different times so it'll be a case of arranging a reasonable hour... maybe 5pm? That gives peeps a chance to get checked into hotel and stuff.

    Could be a Lloyds but I thought they where one and the same!

    I think they have an entertainment license so that they can show sporting events and such.

    Yeah, Wetherspoons can show sport etc but I don't think they have music as standard. I believe Lloyds and Wetherspoons are run by the same chain but have different policies regarding music... ie. Lloyds is chav/townie/glo-stick heaven :roll:

    Every other time I have ever been in there, there has been no music so I was rather confused on Sunday with all that dance stuff blaring out of the speakers.
