Hi there,

It was on the opposite side of Swindon.  Actually the former Hyatt Regency was demolished just a few years ago and in its place now stood an awkward shopping arcade called i-square.  It is really quite a 'square' place with so many escalators and passages.  Maybe it's just me, I don't like its layout.

Best Regards,

T

philk - as you may have gathered too, fb is my preferred site for uploading images (just so easy to do).  also you don't have to be a fb member to visualise the links as i have removed all the privacy settings.  maybe when gwulo makes it as simple, i will do the same - cheers

Hi Vanessa, I can't seem to do it, it just keeps telling me I need to login. No worries, I'll try badger someone with an FB account to let me have a peek. Cheers Phil
