General - Do not go to the Alma

Clare and I went cheep for our first night in Preston on Thursday so stayed in a grotty place called the Alma. I must say that it’s the worse place I’ve ever slept in. I actually slept fully clothed such was the scut and horridness. We were out the door by half 7 the next day and had booked another place. The Alma was full of drugs prostitutes and down and outs. We told a taxi driver and he just laughed knowing what the place was like. On the up side they did take guide dogs with no problems. Clare found a little rubber thing under the bed, it had seen its share of action too. Absolutely horrible and really stomach churning stuff.

Our second hotel the DERBY COURT was lovely and on Church Street so near the pubs and our friends.

I’ve got a problem with my laptop so will not be able to post an earlier missive on my time in Scotland and Newcastle for a day or so.
