    Living down in Sussex, our day trips are usually to London or Brighton, love going to both.
    We also do a lot of castles and stately homes, that's the wife's thing, anything that looks like Downton Abbey and we are there.

    It`s certainly one of the most expensive (I presume you mean the Magpie) It`s a bit like Betty`s in York - an "in" place to go - nearly always a queue outside for a meal which is nothing special. There`s a better chippie on the corner by the pier and it`s about half the price!
    Also, is there any chance you lot can stop bigging up our beautiful country, otherwise we`ll get loads of ex package holidayers clogging the place up!

    I live a 15 min walk from Betty's in York City Centre, there's nothing around the corner that touches that place mate. My treat every week to my bed bound is a Betty's Strawberry tart and yes, I do walk up for it..<ok>

    Leeds Castle is in Kent Comm.
    They obviously didn't have Sat Navs in those days.

    Aye, I think you are right.
    Best fish & chips I ever had was the Queen's Cafe in Seaburn which will be no doubt be stowed off all weekend what with the airshow being on.

    Its in Kent. I think it may be the only castle left in the country with a complete moat. There was a NATO summit there a few years ago.

    The guy that owns it has a great set up.
    Not that big inside but he has two hatches outside, one selling hot food & one selling ice cream.
    If it's fine on Saturday he'll make a ****ing killing.
