" if your fuel pump breaks while you're at the sea side, just call us up, and we'll come and fix it for you "
...I'm sure there are stronger arguments to consider 'road side recovery' than if you're lucky enough to have your car fail at the seaside!!

The bath tub was so disgusting. Do not shower without shoes on your feet. Hot water took 10 minutes to coem in.
Bath is a city in the ceremonial county of Somerset, South West England, 97 miles west of London and 13 miles south-east of Bristol. In 2011, its population was 88,859. It became a city by Elizabeth I granting it a Royal Charter in 1590 and a county borough in 1889. The city became part of Avon in 1974; since Avon's abolition in 1996, it has been the principal centre of Bath and North East Somerset.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis") c. AD 60 when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon, although oral tradition suggests that the hot springs were known before then. It became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era, leaving a heritage of Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone.

I think the WWll 'pillbox' has been removed but I could be wrong.

Gartholwg Camera Club : Bath Abbey
Although photography is allowed inside the Abbey, I was disappointed that I could not use a tripod - (that Health & Safety thing reared it's head again !)
I had to use my camera hand-held at a high ISO and then reduce noise 1st in ACR using a pre-set I have set up, then after the HDR process, I used Topaz 'De-Noise' on a very low setting. Had I been able to use a tripod with the camera at ISO 100, the images would have turned out much better (noise-wise !) IMHO.
