Got my acknowledgement letter today too, so termie's block booking on the test day obviously didn't get lost :D

Bob, the acknoledgement letter doesn't give details or a camspite allocation already, it's just an acknowledgement of your booking. So, it's still nail-biting until beginning of next year, then we will see which site we get.

Yeh I know that. I just want to know which site the old reprobate has applied for now he has tasted the "Verdant Green Pastures, Sandy Tracks and Lakeside Views" of Gods' Own Country. Or Houx Annexe as it is known to the lesser mortals on MB

Actually, HA was my choice also in the 80ies and 90ies before I became an EXPO Regular

So what has BobU himself applied for?
Title: Re: Le Mans 2008 TICKETS!!
Post by: Catchpole on July 27, 2007, 02:26:45 pm
Well, I've actually applied for two lots, one through the ACO channels and another through other channels for two different campsites.  One I'll know i can get easy, the other is a bit more problematical  ;D

But you do realise JustTickets has some weird conversion from Euros to Sterling? (1:1 instead of 1:1.46 :-\)

I sincerely hope the fact that Termie ordered your tickets doesn't mean that you are going over to the dark side :(

Can I remind you about the Friday night party you had this year? There's nothing dark about where we stay in June (except for night times)! >:(

Well I got two acknowledgement letters last week...

I only booked once as well - wonder if it is a dupe letter, or if they have duped the booking?  ???

You'll only know the answer to that when you get one or two allocation letters.

Could be useful if the latter, though - what camp site did you ask for??

Panic over.  Just got home and my confirmation was waiting on the door mat   ;D

So now I just  have to hope that a certain gentleman who helps the aged of my parish with holiday home bookings doesn't get a sudden flurry of ex-backsliders wanting their old allocations back again...

"Verdant Pastures, Lakeside Views and Sandy Tracks"

Dammit, a sudden and very real dollop of nostalgia then!

And not even Co-Codamol can cure nostalgia...

(good though it be for Neuralgia...)


Now then, who can remember when the sun used to shine too?

Termie, I hope I am not being too "complaisant" thanking you for expediting those applications.

Thanks.
