Re: can you recommend a nice spa / southern England?

Well, you did ask. Personally, I favour a swim in the Hallenbad followed by a sauna and perhaps a massage. Save yourself CHF200 there and then.

Most of these 'lux' places will be willing to make special offers; ask for them, even if they're not advertised. Be honest with the receptionist and say you'd dearly like to stay three nights but it's terribly pricey and could they help? They usually do. You'll spend your kids' inheritance on the wine menu, anyway, so in for a penny...

yes I know.. and mrs. G is a champion haggler ( a bedouin merchant once complemented her ) so as I said.. it's in her hands.

AND?.. we don't have any kids so bring on the wine list
