Salisbury doesn't seem as exciting because it's not near the seaside! Getting married is definitely more exciting than attending Esperanto events :)

I have to work every bank holiday this year; the reason is I'm getting married in the summer in the Philippines so need a LOT of time off for that, more holiday time than I actually have accrued per annum. The trade-off at work was that in order to get the full time off for the wedding, the rest of the year I'm theirs. I'm thinking about Llandudno 2010, though. It would be nice to meet up with Bill Chapman and Heather Eason and many others again.

If you're not however it's all available at the website: http://www.esperanto-gb.org/eab/eab_events.htm The next big thing coming up is the Brita Kongreso in Salisbury this April, and there's another diskutrondo at Barlaston at the end of October.

Needless to say, the rail staff are ALWAYS the last to find out about any problems. On the day of a major rail crash, I was working that evening, and customers kept calling in about problems on that particular line. We were only informed (and thus to tell the customers) that there had been an incident, and there may be some delays. Customers knew more than we did in the office about the state of the rail network. It was not until the 10pm news at home that I found out that there had been a major train crash, people killed, etc. We were only told it was an incident (which in railways terms can mean anything from a signal failure to holding up a train because a child's teddy bear has fallen on the line). Glad to know you made it, anyway. Where do you get the info on these Esperanto events, BTW?
