I think Supercat was talking about his birthday - if that is the same day as the 'megameet' it shouldn't be a problem. I'll ignore the 'assuming there really *are* no buses' remark; I obtained my information from an official source and although I haven't specified who (as they have no connection to this forum) it is all documented within this thread. Are you really implying I might make something like that up.

Jeez, you lot are touchy! I was talking to Viv, so back off, ok?

Now I'm not turning into a Tory and no I'm not against buses or tourists or stones but as a taxpayer I have to point out there's no moral or practical obligation on taxpayers to subsidise Sunday tourists on half empty buses. Midweek shopping by pensioners to stop country villages dying, maybe, Sunday Fun trips maybe not. Let the Red Lion subsidise the tourists' bus. Let the tourists pay the full economic price (like I do in my car when I drive to Avebury). Why should taxpayers pick up the tab?

If the passengers are willing to pay the full cost I absolutely guarrantee someone will provide the service.

Firstly apologies to Supercat if I got your gender wrong - hard to know from forum names isn't it. You know what they say about birthdays - its only a number.

Goffick, I'm afraid thats how your post came across, 'touchy' or not I think I'm entitled to comment. Don't know who you mean by 'you lot', I was speaking only for myself as I always do.
