dress code .... in Birmingham ... !!!

although they do have valet parking....

and talking about 'coming up in the world' - it's 39 storeys - so a little difficult to miss... (although meeting room facilities are only on floors 2 & 3...).

Here's the link to their meeting room facilities:

Stan, I caught a snippet the other day about plans for putting bag scanners in at railway stations. Imagine the poor sods queuing for hours when all they want to do is nip round the corner from New St to Fiveways. Be the bus stops next.........

Never mind what level it is on Survived, what is the hospitality gonna be like?

survived87 - 16 Nov 2007 22:04 - 646 of 1427

From what I remember they had a short period a while ago (due to terror alerts) when they stuck scanners in at New Street station - think they made a profit on the situation (as they were also checking tickets and the number of fare dodgers charged was in to triple figures).

55 - hospitality ? - depends on which meeting room package that CMC have purchased! Don't suppose it'll be the full banquent one - but hopefully it'll be more than just water....

Chris,

valet parking? does that mean that if I arrive by bike they will give the chain a wipe down and check the tyre pressures?

survived87 - 16 Nov 2007 22:17 - 649 of 1427

perhaps they haven't experienced that event yet (people arriving on bicycles) .... but being 5-star then they should be able to handle it without blinking.... car parking facility is robot lifts/slots - it's only failed a couple of times....

...in that case I will arrive in the 3 wheeler -):

55011 - 16 Nov 2007 22:22 - 651 of 1427

What about my horse?

survived87 - 16 Nov 2007 22:24 - 652 of 1427

... Shergar...?

(what happems when you take it on the train?)

Stan - 16 Nov 2007 22:25 - 653 of 1427

Right thats a bike or 3 Wheeler, a horse...any more suggestions?

Stan - 16 Nov 2007 22:26 - 654 of 1427

Are Shergar, now there's a thought.

55011 - 16 Nov 2007 22:27 - 655 of 1427

.....and cart?

Stan - 16 Nov 2007 22:30 - 656 of 1427

"(what happens when you take it on the train?)"..ah I hadn't thought of that.

>any more suggestions?

Well I think there are a couple of Tuk Tuk's finally operating in Brum now:.

"In Asia, drivers rely on religious artefacts to protect them from crashes. Mr Ponniah, however, has had to satisfy the requirements of the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency, which has tested each tuk-tuk."

55 - if you do bring a horse then don't forget to bring Lady Godiva as well ..... I guess the Senior Revenue Officer on the train would let her travel for free...(unless it's Great Western)?

Stan - 16 Nov 2007 22:40 - 659 of 1427

Hey I like them, can see them catching on as well.

survived87 - 16 Nov 2007 22:44 - 660 of 1427

But Bob Oddy, of the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association, said: They can tip over and people can get thrown out".

True .... especially if taking sharp corners at high speed on a wet road ...(personal experience .... although not in Brum).

Stan - 16 Nov 2007 22:45 - 661 of 1427

Oh well perhaps not then -):
