What sort of question is that from someone who has to "feed" an A8.

in that case just to confuse things we would be two adults and one child for train ride but only two cream teas for the adults, however if the train ride includes the cream tea I may offer the third cream tea as a swap for a beer later........... need to go lie down now!!

I think the cream tea includes the train ride, but not the other way around...

Guys, if it helps to get the mininum number requirement, put me down for 2 cream teas (seriously!). I've lost the plot on the costs, but I'm happy to chip in a few quid to let the event go ahead.

In fact, Mike/Neil, PM me and let me know how much you need to 'sponsor' the cream teas (i.e. how much is the shortfall?). I know this event costs you guys a fortune - time I chipped in a few pennies I think.
