Thanks for the info Jon, I might do that, it suits my usual way of planning things(last minute).Are these last minute tickets at an inflated price?

My domestic situation is such that making plans more than 24 hours in advance is unwise, however I might persuade my children that this is the birthday present I really want (I'm 31st july).

I shall keep an eye on this thread and see where people are to be meeting.

cheers
