Bravo73;
You are very right about the Monkey Island site. Not for the faint hearted, in fact when I went two years ago and did a full ground survey we decided as a company that it was not suitable for Public Transport and dropped it completely.
The duty manager couldn't get his mind around the fact that painting an H on a tiny piece of grass did not a heli-pad make.
Just up the road at Bray Cricket Club is a good site, £50 but they really look after you. I was sitting there for four hours on Salsa Night and had a great time (too many lady dancers hardly any blokes
)
At the other extreme I took a familly to Millfield school a few months ago. Called the school to arrange the day before and spoke to the foreman of works to be told "As it's a normal term day and we're not expecting anyone else I'm afraid I've got no fire cover or GPU, will that be ok for you?"
Nearly had to tear up my medical from the shock.
