woody-the-bee Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 ok so there's been a problem with our original accomodation plans, and so we need somewhere urgently. if anyone can recommend anywhere, i'd be very grateful! there's 4 of us going and we'd prefer a place in walking/stumbling/crawling distance of the stadium.

Gemini Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 ok so there's been a problem with our original accomodation plans, and so we need somewhere urgently What's up? Have you just found out you can't sleep four in the car after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody-the-bee Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 more than that, apparently if i've been drinking and sleep in the car it's classed as drink driving. as long as the keys are in the car with us, and i've been drinking then it's illegal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Only if the keys are in the ignition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody-the-bee Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 no apparently if the keys are even on your person, according to my mate's dad. he's a policeman. he knows more than me about these things. oh and apparently stealing cars is illegal now too?

Gemini Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Just checked with my son-in-law (who's also a policeman) and that's correct Woody. If there is any chance you could drive, i.e. having possession of the keys, then you could get done. Shame. Hope you manage to find somewhere to sleep. Have you got a tent?

Jay Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I'll be with Brian Potter (Smike), Gerry St Clair (DGM) and Todd (Charles) and the rest of the phoenix nights crew in the Travelodge. Â If we wake anyone up while we are walking the corridors in the early hours I apologise now. I'll make sure DGM is on a short rope this year!!

SCB Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 So give the keys to someone in the back of the car, they're hardly likely to drive from the back of the car are they?! Â Madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody-the-bee Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 (edited) all options look to have been exhausted, and it looks as if i wont be drinking - instead, taking care of the homewards bound arrangements   unless anyone has floor space in their hotel rooms...?
