Dear @Glow worm
My experience is that this is an easy problem to solve. All you do is throw money at it.
So ... "Sunday lunch in that expensive, exclusive restaurant would be far nicer than a tedious Friday night in the pub. You're worth it. Let's spend."
And it's better if you offer to drive because
A) it cuts about thirty quid off the bill cos you don't drink and
B) you get masses of Brownie points.
Happy days.....

I've looked at trains and I've bought tickets.
Not too expensive but I'll spend a lot of time travelling.
My train to Cambridge is due in at 23.41 so I may miss the safety talk (but I think I know most of it).
I'm really looking forward to this ride, I just need to find something to do in King's Lynn before my train back. It leaves at 13.44.
Pub ?
Now to fill in the form.
I might leave that 'til morning.

You might look at the Market Place with Trinity Guildhall and the Hanseatic Warehouse, the Custom House on the quayside, and King Street and St George's Guildhall.
The town celebrates to some extent its Hanseatic links. A succession of local merchants were appointed honorary German consuls. Our favourite German is currently engaged in another bike ride.

Planning, well *hoping*, to wave you all off from Cambridge.

Search for "Love West Norfolk" to find tourism info I think. There are two market places, the big square Tuesday one and the smaller Saturday one by the minster and town hall which hosts a gaol museum. The main Lynn Museum is in the bus station, sadly, but at least there's plentiful bike parking by it. A short ride past the station is The Walks, a grade 2 listed landscape, and if you still want to ride and have time, Sandringham royal estate is about an hour's ride beyond it up National 1 and that's often rated one of Britain's best bike rides (it's pretty good but that also says bad things about cycling in Britain IMO!)

Looks like I was too quick off the mark. My wife has been put on a night shift on the 30th so I'm going to have to stay at home on dad duties insteadRegistered

To be pedantic, officially she's Everyone's Favourite German. He's Everyone's Second Favourite German. Officially.

You're forgetting CathyG, another of my favourite Germans.
