A bit late in the season, maybe, but a question which came up at work a couple of days ago:
Where would you go for a quick bite to eat, or even a cup of tea, at night?
One of my colleagues was doing a night cross-country with a student. He (my colleague) hadn't had a chance to have any dinner, and thought it would be a good idea to go somewhere where he could get something to eat. After pouring over the flight guide and making a few phone-calls, we couldn't find anywhere within a sensible flying distance of Blackpool which is open at night, has a cafe which is open at night, and charges a less than extortionate landing fee.
(Incidentally, Blackpool is open until 9pm 7 days a week, charges a reasonable, though not cheap, landing fee, and has a pub on the airport which serves food, coffee and tea (and beer) all day. So, although it might not be gourmet food at the Air Balloon, it wins my vote as best night destination by default. But that's not really idea for a cross-country from Blackpool.....)
