I have my girlfriend eating out of my hand... No no .. erm..
Basically our move is in two parts: The stuff from America should arrive next week to the new house and between then and the end of my Job here on July 20th we'll try to move as much of our stuff as possible. The piano will be the big thing. If we're lucky we can get it all done by the 25th, in which case Nikki, her mog and American will be able to attend

Nah.
Actually, K and I were commenting the other day about moving the stuff from Lincoln. I said... "wouldn't it be cool to find someone who could lend us a van for the weekend". Not sure a piano plus numberous other things would a) fit and b) not be too heavy.

Ray - I received the tickets today, cheers. I owe you a SAE
I posted this on Sept 08th last year in the 'Chatsworth House 11447' thread as people had suggested a messageboard meeting.
Now that many of us have booked up, what do the people who are attending think of this idea? Would you be interested?
Of course they may tell us to get lost - and it may be that NWL 576 isn't a runner or it can't easily be moved. However I do think it's worth asking....

"I've got a cunning plan - why not make it an official MMOC event for messageboard members - then we ask if we can have a demonstration run with NWL576 - the first 'proper' Minor (chassis no. 501). I can't imagine we would be allowed to drive it, but they could give 3 passengers a short ride in the car (repeated to give everyone a ride).
Imagine - travelling in the very first Minor !"

It's bad enough for southeners not to know that northeners come from 'the North', as opposed to the Midlands, but when we start joining in!! I give up:lol:Yes, I can imagine a lot of Northeners attending that! Not enough cloth caps or Whippets for us!
ps - Dan, the North is the bit a long way from you that joins England to Scotland (Lancashire / Yorksire / Cumbria etc..)
The Midlands is the place in the middle of England (not so far from you), and Birmingham is roughly in the middle of it. This is the place where the industrial revolution gathered critical mass and continued spread out to change the whole world, and where we used to make stuff up until about 20 years ago. You can still find a few places that make stuff, but now they're called 'working museums'

Sorry Ray, I do apologise! It's just that everything north of Watford Gap seems to be regarded as 'the North'! So I did not confuse matters, but now I see that I should have! It was Dan that called me a Northener!
Yes, the Midlands is the 'workshop of the world' (well, was). I stand corrected and feel proud to be a Midlander (albeit a North midlander! )

So do Scottish people, Welsh people, Midlanders and in fact a huge proportion of the worlds population - there must be billions of 'Northeners' in your definition.Northerners live north of the watford gap......
I was hoping that Dan would see the error of his ways, but some others are well known to be a lost cause.
