Can we get a definitive list of who's staying up the night before, and where? (and if there are any staying AFTERWARDS, too, I guess [:w])

A Biffa bin outside Carboard City would be more luxurious....

Now in the Travelodge Royal Scot for both Fri and Sat nights, £19/night [y]
(Thanks for the sale heads-up, daharris!)
There are about 3/4 Travelodges in about 500yards in that area (I know the area reasonably well). All are crap, but all are cheap. The Farringdon one is near a good late night chicken shop. 'Mr Rooster', I believe... [;)]

I'll be found at
Kurz und Lang, shortly before commencing the consumption of alcohol, and probably after said consumption as well... [y]

It's coming up as £19/night here. Which it wasn't earlier this morning when Farringdon was the only one in that area for £19 - Kings Cross/Euston were £55 - £79. [:?]

Bugger booked up before the sale cost me £112 for 2 nights[:(!]
But £39 for the first class return was a bargain[y]

Ah, whereas my return is going to be £113 in first if I want 1' extra legroom and a blue seat rather than a red one... [ii]
You got the swing, I have the roundabout. [:)]

Just a heads up if you're travelling by train, from somewhere served by Virgin Trains or National Express East Coast.
Virgin Trains start their VHF Timetable (Very High Frequency) which is basically three trains an hour from Manchester and another three trains an hour from Brum. Fares are now from £5.00, plus railcard discounts if you have one. Also there's the mobile ticketing trial, if you can access it, fares from £1 from Manchester.
National Express East Coast are doing £5 each way fares across their network (Kings Cross and Leeds, York, Doncaster, Darlington etc.), as part of their birthday celebrations.
http://www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com/birthday - you need a voucher - but it's on that link.
