Hoping to go down to Coventry (or similar area) by train for a weekend next month.

Just wondering if anyone knows of anything interesting to do there and if there's anywhere (cheep!) to stay such as a premier lodge type thing.

By going on train I will be limited as to where I can get to but don't know the area at all!

There is a French syle Formula One motel in Cov. Find it through the www.accor.com site.

Agreed. The Thrust SSC ride is good while you're there.

PIE is a very petite young lady, however she has a rarther buxom chest. This results in the little Lois not sitting up straight. So I told her,

"Lois Posture Is Everything sit up straight and be proud of your chest."

Hence she got the nickname P.I.E as we are going to BT&PIE.

Look it was funny at 4.00am as drunk as a scunk OK!

Should have come to PHPPU2!

It's door's fault. PIE stands for "Posture Is Everything"
Suposidly my smallish frame and good sized "floatation aids" give rise to a shock when I'm stold to stand with correct posture (chest out).

Lois,

It sounded in your original post as if you might have had some sort of choice when going to Coventry.

If there is any element of choice whateoever then I recommend you exercise it - Coventry really is an excreble place, I cannot think of a single redeeming feature about it

Ok...well is there anyone roughly around that area thats nicer to visit. Just there worked out as a half way place to meet. Has to have a good train station though
