Yes, get to Bletchley before it gets sold off or knocked down or
something. Last time I was there it was looking very run-down and uncared
for. Don't look in any of the windows of the buildings making up block D
(the middle set) because the sight will depress you beyond words.

The Classic Gaming Expo (UK version) is on this weekend at the Croydon
Fairfield Hall conference centre in south east London, more info is at
http://www.cgexpo-uk.com/. At least me and Jules R will be there
exhibiting along with a host of others so there's something to do straight
away, as well as the London Science museum of course.
cheers,
