I believe Broadway Lane may be double yellow lines for a little way down from the roundabout but then OK. will check and report back (but not till late tomorrow: away during the day). Looks like I had better get in touch with the pub and tell them to expect a deluge of geekdom on Wednesday then, since we seem to have quite a +ve response to the idea here tonight. I just checked and the karaoke does not start till 9 anyway. -- regards, Victor Churchill, Bournemouth -- Next meeting: Bournemouth?

I used to go there quite often many years back, then it transformed into a sports-bar kind of place with pol tables and big TVs and I stopped going; /however/ it has gone through at least a couple of changes of ownership since then; I dropped in one lunchtime last week and it was quite civilised. They do I know have organised thnigs on several evenings a week but the presence of a separate room is a definite plus. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth?

There are other cities and towns with adequate public transport (among the ones I know, Brighton, Nottingham & Newcastle) and the state of public transport in Dorset is simply a consequence of years and years of under-investment (I'm not talking only about financial investment, I'm talking about political efforts investment as well). Local politics have a huge importance on public transport - if the local authorities do not work with the local transport companies to develop and push for a decent public transport plan, we have to suffer the consequences of different companies competing on similar bus routes rather than building a coherent network. It seems that the local authorities in the area (Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorset) haven't been willing to push much for better public transport and as a result, many residents rule out public transport as viable option. Dorset is a beautiful area but its lack of decent public transport makes it ill prepared for the future (petrol prices going up, more and more people unable to afford to run a car, not to mention the new pollution emission targets). It's a shame. Cabs are great and I'm glad for them but few people can afford to use them instead of buses on a regular basis. It costs £6 for a ride from the train station to where I live in Winton and I can walk the same route in under half an hour! Cabs are essentially a kind of short-lease personal transport with chauffeur, they don't have the benefits of public transport (economy of scale in terms of petrol prices, reduction of CO2 per mile travelled etc). -- Next meeting: Bournemouth?

Andrew, as far as surveillance, all pubs have them and anyway, just having a mobile phone on tracks your every move.
