Post here if you need a lift to the LAN, or flight details if you need pickup from an Airport. The main London ones are usually best, if possible. We will do our best to sort you out.

Brother Toby kindly offered to pick me up on Friday.
I'm arriving quite a bit earlier than he can swing by so I will catch a train unless someone is passing Stansted around 10am on Friday?
I would really appreciate a lift for the Sunday return leg as it's around a 09:30 departure from March and I expect relying on trains might be a bit optimistic. Cheers, Bert
I plan to be driving this time so should be able to do a lift
Thu: Hatfield to March, aiming to escape work around 3pm, maybe later though
Sun: March to London(N1), I should be able to do an early(ish) departure like "about 0930" (ie 10 :flirty:) via Stansted
Also worth noting I can give lifts from as far up as Birmingham airport if needed
Just checking trains and actually there is only a replacement bus service on Sunday the 6th from March so I really hope someone is leaving early.
I recall doing this train trip a few years ago and a saver return over the weekend was £17.50 ish. It's a disgrace the train prices, even 2 weeks in advance you cannot get a saver ticket, it simply doesn't exist.
So if anyone coming from the South on Friday could swing by and pick me up about 10ish there's a £18.30 single rail fare that becomes beer money lol.
I believe everyone else arriving Friday is arriving either considerably later than 10 (more like late afternoon) or coming from the wrong direction entirely.
Looks like SM may kindly offer to take you back Sunday, though :)

I know mate, just thought the temptation of using a train fare for 6 beers instead may change someones mind ;-)

Are you from Hatfield/live there or more affectionately kown as shatfield love from a person who grew up in welwyn garden city:woot2:
Caveat: My house build, which was due to finish tomorrow, seems to be running on, so there is an increasing chance that I may need to cancel if I am actually only moving back in to the house next week/weekend :sideways:

Definitely not from there! I just work there :narnar: I guess it's cheap to rent offices! At least a weatherspoons opened up last year so now we have somewhere classy to go :rolleyes:
if SM pulls out...err...although i get there Thurs and its 100 mile round trip the wrong way, if you are stuck ill come get you, same goes for Sun
Surely somebody is closer though?
Berty ill pm you
Sorry about this, I've had to move my flight to Thursday morning rather than Friday because I may have a job interview in London on Thursday. Good thing is another day at the LAN.

It'll either be 10am or there about for anyone swinging past Stansted
or
3pm approx anywhere near Hammersmith.
Will confirm asap but if anyone can do either of these, beers of appreciation.
Sorry, I'm not coming to the LAN until Friday sometime.
Ghost has kindly agreed to pick up albert if he needs it at 10:00.
If albert needs a pickup around 3pm (Hammersmith area), is there anyone that can help him out?
Please only volunteer if you are nearby. No heroic 100+ mile detours*! Although the offer is very kind, no one should be going that far out of their way!
*looking at you sulks, don't think I didn't see that post, nothing gets past me mate :lmfao:

And I can also get to somewhere more useful, like Hatton Cross, not far off the M25. But I will confirm ASAP also spoke with GMjr.
So I'm now coming to lan from London (N1) sometime on Sat, pretty sure that leg of the journey is probably no use to anyone :rolleyes:
I'll still be heading back south early-ish on Sunday, so should be fine to do Albert's Stansted run.
Thanks mate, I just need to be there by 11 ish give or take 15 minutes.
Nice one. I believe ghost is picking Albert up as above.

Yes indeedy, thanks all.
I'm currently broke down in my car awaiting recovery don't know what's wrong with it I'm hoping nothing major if it is stuffed is anyone going to lan via Northampton
Touch wood aa said its fixed
keep us posted DD
I'm home...after an hour an a half drive, the part that failed is a part that was replaced on the 20/04/2018 for 60£ it's failed after about 300 miles? if that.....(Euro car parts sell really good car parts btw just like argos sells great personal computers) if that.....
I'm not looking forward to going to the garage tomorrow and trying to get my money back ( i have the failed part ,receipt and invoice from aa saying that was wrong) - still not sure where I stand surely should just get my money back right? <- PM me if anyone has advice on this please.
It should be fine for tomorrow's drive if not i'll call the AA out again:roflmao: it's a common problem for the oil pressure switch to fail on the 1.2 Corsa MK B.
Thank you to Cheese & Two bad for their moral support and offering my transport - Very kind & much appreciated.
I'm in very much in need of a pint but i'm doing a night shift tonight into tomorrow morning.
Good luck DD and keep us posted how you get on, Am sure something can be sorted if you have further issues
DD I can drive you if you want me to ? I got to head that way so if you want some medic support let me know brother
I think it'll be okay now of course no way of knowing 100% but the new part has done 100miles and been fine. Thank you Rouge
They can't query a part bought in April.

"If your claim is about a problem that arose within six months of buying the product, it's assumed that the problem was there on the day you received it. It's up to the retailer to prove that the goods were of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, or as described when it sold them."
Really can't see them complaining about a £60 part. A £2,000 turbo possibly but I'd be really surprised they'd blow the goodwill and negatives over a part which was obvioulsy supplied faulty.
Thanks pen for taking the time to help with that post :) and thanks gortex forgot to put that in me last post
Drive safe everyone. LAN isn't going anywhere, no need to rush!
Hope you all have a great weekend! :woot2:
I've got here a bit early I appear to be the first one here I even beat Lion lol
How'd you get on with the garage?
I've put it off till Monday didn't want to have a discussion coming off a night shift I'm very tired :(
Sorry but plans all fallen through so not even going to make it for the social call now :crying:
Sorry Albert - Gortex and BT will be on the case to find you a different lift :sad:
Sorry to hear that monkey, hope we can catch you in October. Hey, I'm not there either so you can't be missing too much right :flirty::roflmao:
