Dupre: Edited. Thanks for keeping me up to date & for getting back to me - very helpful. Good to hear from somebody who's done it all! Looks as though I'll have to continue to serve the consumers their beloved trout for another couple of months to scrounge that kind of money together <sigh>
. At least I am a dainty size eight in shoes so don't need to worry on the footwear provision front.
Slimynyk: When are you off? I can't decide if I do go whether to go before or after Christmas. I'm going to email a couple of the companys to see if it is possible to go home over the xmas period while waiting for the visa stuff to come though. But that is an extra £700 in flights - which is a hell of a lot of trout to serve.
