Running on the Spot Oct 2020 2:19pm, 24 Oct 2020 351 posts	0 Running on the Spot Correct, we stayed on the coast just outside Tunis, it was great. A few months later, not far from there, the hotel shootings happened!

Eynsham Red Oct 2020 2:59pm, 24 Oct 2020 6,557 posts	0 Eynsham Red Trin, it may well be. I remember the sports field over looking the countryside, and have just confirmed the same on a satellite view of the site.

Angus Clydesdale Oct 2020 4:23pm, 24 Oct 2020 20,217 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale I passed my Grade5 Euphonium at Marlwood School, near Thornbury. Used to play them at rugby too.

Trin Oct 2020 5:02pm, 24 Oct 2020 2,739 posts	0 Trin Angus, that's where my kids went... Marlwood. We lived in Alveston, about 5 minutes from the school, from 2000 until 2012
Angus Clydesdale Oct 2020 5:15pm, 24 Oct 2020 20,219 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale Nice part of the country. I was long gone by Y2K, but my good friends from Air Force days bought a house in Olveston a couple of years ago so we were back there a few times (before recent restrictions). I’ve still got family in Dursley and Cam.
Garfield Oct 2020 7:32pm, 24 Oct 2020 14,353 posts	0 Garfield I vaguely remember doing a gig in Dursley with a big band I used to play in...circa 1993, when we still lived in Bristol.
