WHAT it,s a Holiday Inn now  :o :o. Shows how long i have not been around that part of town.

There is also a new one just off the A46 which looks nice and not to much think it,s about £35 a room will have a check tonight on the way home , have to stop by there as there is a Shell next to it to get some Petrol.

Lol, well Thermaston is in between those two which is where SP_3.2 lives!  ;D ;D

Bit out of town (its by the roundabout at the bottom of the A46 from here where it joins the northen relief road).

Taxis in Leicester are not to bad, you might even get lucky and find a licensed one.

I was going by what multimap displayed.  Crikey, last time I went to Leicester was about 20yrs ago to get some textiles from some dodgy looking characters in a dodgy factory for my sister (who used to work in clothing/fashion industry), so I have no idea whats where there now
