Title: Re: bb3 Travel thread Post by: mikkyT on July 12, 2006, 10:14:03 PM I thought it was in Walsall - which is nearer birmingham or walsall?
Title: Re: bb3 Travel thread Post by: thetank on July 12, 2006, 10:18:45 PM Depends where you are I suppose.
Title: Re: bb3 Travel thread Post by: ifm on July 12, 2006, 10:22:14 PM Birmingham airport is approximately £20-£25 in a normal 4 seater taxi to Walsall grosvenor, i have a couple of pals with 7 seaters who would presumably help out for a drink + petrol.
One is a taxi driver though so you may not get too much of a discount!! I live closer to BHX than walsall so i will try to pick a few up but we'll sort all this closer to the time.

The one with underground parking like the Broadway, that somebody might have joined and strode confidently into at BB1 only to find they were in the wrong casino ??????
