If anyone would like to visit Dorset afterwards there will be plenty of room to cadge a lift, and I can drop you off at a B&B or campsite. I have made Sunday my day off so can take people round if they want.

And I thought Nigel made it up! I'm pretty sure Matt will be fuming at me now for not recognizing a Beatles song... :wink:

Sorry, I've never heard any of their songs, and know absolutely nothing about them, but I was thrilled all the same to photograph their 'statues' at Madame Tussuads.

Okay, Jools, I'll listen to them! After the day, though, as I don't want to interrupt anyone!

BTW, we will be needing a CD player, won't we? ;)

NEVER? NEVER heard any of their songs? How is that even possible? Nige, I think we need to educate this one.

Oh my, I think I need to lie down. My smelling salts, someone!

Matt, I am as shocked as you are!

Ming, got to http://www.thebeatles.com/ and learn! :wink:

When you're in London, go to Baker Street and visit the Beatles' Shop (and of course, the Sherlock Holmes museum).

[Hanging head in shame :oops: ]

Sorry! Matt, please don't faint, Nigel, please don't be shocked, I've seen the site, hunted down some of their songs on YouTube and liked them too!

Oh, I already have been to both, but wouldn't mind going a second time. :D

Yes, do, Ming. I am sure you must know some of their songs, even if you don't know that you know. If that makes sense. Oh dear, I fear I am dreadfully off topic. Perhaps we should open a Beatles thread, Nigel?

Anyway, Tony, thanks for the Day tickets/programmes which arrived safely this morning!

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Dear me, didn't notice we were off topic!

I agree with someone starting a Beatles thread!

I had been before, in 2004. That's another reason why my parents are allowing me to come, because I had been there before, and know some of it.
