Incidentally, another location for great prices is www.hostelworld.com. Despite the name, there are loads of hotels as well. I spent a weekend in Venice for about |

Absolutely correct, sorry to exclude anyone, I am naturally very chatty I`m afraid.
I`d love to hear more about the Be-Stiff tour from our earlier poster though, I can get an article out of that, and anyone else with stories like that as well, it`s very readable for pundits that like the music but don`t have to suffer the ups and downs of touring.
My Mum allways said, and still does, "why do you have to be there at 1 if you are not on until 9??"
(along with "can`t you get a proper job?...of course...) |

We came down around teatime, after soundcheck, and there were sarnies and teacakes and the like layed out, and I asked if they were free.
The lady said "only if you have paid the full new years package price, but if you haven`t I won`t tell anyone!"
So free food abounded in abundance.
This morning, I settled my bill, and was asked if I had had breakfast, and I honestly admitted that we had.
I got walloped |

Recently I found some old papers, including hotel bills.
In November 1978 (final night of the BE STIFF Tour at the Lyceum) I paid 2.50 Pound for a hotel near Victoria Station.
In 1999 it was 150 Pound (for a business class hotel at the Strand, opposite of the Savoy).
And how cheap the tube was in the 70s!
A "Go-As-You-Please-Ticket" (today: All-Zones)was about five Pound. For one week!
And concerts (Marquee, Nashville) were 0,75 pence! As much as singles. |
