Be nice to see him off from his home.
I put this to Simon and he loves the idea. I've said well be at Jack's house for 3.30 so we can talk to the funeral directors.

We just need to decide where we are going to meet up before hand.

Either that or Hinckley, I think that's kind of on the way for all of us I think?

I did look, but the triumph factory is closed on Monday.

It’s a shame the factory cafe is closed.

There is a pub called the Longshoot which is at the junction of the A47 from Nuneaton where it meets the A5. Its about 5 minutes from Jack's house.

Coffee would be good, it's 2 hours for me to get there so a quick break would be appreciated.

Leigh, do you want to meet there or en route?

I’ll meet you there, I’m going to take the long route there rather than motorway.
