Maybe you could enlighten me of pubs with decent beers? I haven't had much of 
a chance to do the rounds, so I've only found the hole in the wall and the 
masons arms that serve a decent pint.

I remember Leicestershire with fondness. I grew up in the South but the East 
Midlands seemed to be a good compromise - good job prospects/communications 
but no _too_ much traffic and people had some semblance of a sense of 
humour...!!

Thanks. I'm working in Blackpool at the moment but contract is up at the end 
of the week, then who knows what... I do Java/J2EE so unfortunately very 
removed from games programming :(

Looks like I might have a little more time on my hands  (impending/existing 
babies excluding) so I would be up for that.

Mark.
