Just to let anyone following this blog, that we have arrived in Plymouth, and have been unable to do much posting. Someone at Premier Inn at Bristol, told me that Swisscom (which is the internet provider they suggest you can access in your room, for 5 Pounds a day), were actually blocking other networks, like Vodaphone, and I couldn't get any signal. To check daily emails, I was having to take the laptop out to the car, and sit there and do it!
I know I can write stuff and copy/paste it later, but it isn't quite the same.
