diddle de dum, diddle de dum, deeee, diddle de dum, diddle de dum, diddle de dum, oooh ahhh oooh.



To the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, next month, and it's been ages since we last went for a curry ?

That sounds like a fab idea, Granny, (I was going to go anyway) let's see who we drum up

maybe...we'll see how the finance's hold up

Wouldn't mind, Granny. Did yer have a date in mind? 10th's no good for me - birthday party.

Would like to bring hubby and kids along (they all *love* Dr Who) any idea of a date, yet

er...I will be visiting over there for a couple of weeks in march.

do let me know.

alec.

late march / early april is out. I'm going to be in America with my *other* family.

Meetup? Curry?? ???

I'm as good as there.

I'd love to but: a) I'm on the other side of the country; b) I've got loads of work to do between now and part c; c) I'm leaving to go home for break on the 15th of March.

Aww Amy, it would 'ave bin lovely to see you and Clive again.

Now then as Alec Trician's visiting I think we ought to time it for his visit & give t'lad chance to finish his game of arras So Alec lad, when's tha arriving in civilisation?

If I get chance & don't stick me glasses to t'wall with polyfilla I'll get a meet page done tomorrow

Clive and I'll both be back on the 17th of April if that helps matters any.

'as anyone got t' first clue about t' pricing structure? It says £4.50 to £20 on t'interweb site but no explanation of who pays what when.

Just askin' like.

I might make it, yer never know

Jules

That's flommoxed me an' 'all Jules. Went on the site to try n order tickets for me, hubby and two kids, it made me stick the price range in all four droppydowny bits, £80+


and



If an individual can get in for £4.50, why would a 'family' ticket (2 adults, two kids) cast £20.00??

It don't seem reight. Fair confuddled I am

Ecky thump, that's reet confusticating. I'll ring the museum tomorrow & get t'truth of t'matter.

The other thing I noticed is that the exhibition doesn't start until the 31st March that sort of rules out Alec I suppose. Still there's not much stopping us from two meets Next time I'll check out the Museum site direct & not rely on the local paper

I just had a gander and it says £20 families, £6.50 adult, £4.50 concessions. Seems clear enough to me. Why they advertise £20 as t'upper limit I durn't know, seeing as how that gets four people in.

That would explain the families then, but why does t'website make yer fill in all four fields? (or am I having a 'blonde moment? <brunette-splattered-with-grey-smiley&gt

I reckon coz you said as youse needed four tickets it gave you four choices for each ticket, but yer actually only needed one ticket, though it be a ticket for four of youse.

Mek sense?

That is a shame about the exhibition not being till the end of the month...

I will be in Sheff from the 10th till around the 18th of March, then a couple of days in Kentown before flying back here.

This will be my first time back in 12 years...'as much 'appened??

alec.

My little brother's been at Sheffield Uni for over 12 years, I'll ask him when I see him tomorrow
