Go down on the Friday, book yourself into a little dishevelled B & B run by some guy who's belly hangs over his jogging bottoms and make a weekender out of it!  :)

no scrumpy but its a band b with a dishevelled owner whose beer belly hangs over his trackie bottoms.

it always used to be the carlton (does it still exist) for weymouth a handy 2 quid taxi ride from the all night kebab shop or 60 yard walk for those in the know. I am still mad about that for those who remember the incident, 2 quid was a lot of money in 1985. Did i ever tell anyone on here about my goal at weymouth oh and we put bobby moore in the boot............................................................................happy days

Gazelle, of course I remember.... that supporters game was amazing. They barely managed to team - we loaned 'em at least 2. One was Phil Boyne who managed to knock me out on halfway requiring a visit to Wythy A & E when we got back. - the nurse commenting "you've got a very hard head Mr Seller!
Worst of all was near the end, a goal line block with my wedding tackle - "those were the days my friend" (sing in high pitched voice for effect!)
hey ho and away we go - at least Daisy's younger sister is evidence that no permanent damage was done. Daisy was already on the way by then!

If you go on the National Rail Enquiries website make sure you book two single journeys, ie, one journey there and buy the ticket, then book a separate single journey back.

It will cost you £16 to go down on the Friday (11:24 train from Piccadilly) and £16 to return on the Monday (13:20 from Weymouth). If you want to get back on the Sunday however, be prepared to spend- £81. But shouldn't be too expensive providing you can get the Friday and Monday off work.

Just the B&B with the grubby man to worry about now! ;)
