    something for the weekend

    I promised my nephew years ago that if he got top grade in an English test I would treat him to a weekend away, I never thought he would make it but a trip to England must have been incentive enough, the bugger got the mark so I want to keep my end of the bargain.
    Now, what to do with a thirteen year old, I'm looking at something in the south half of the country during the summer school hols, any suggestions

    please

    Just a suggestion.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Sounds good to me but I think that might be a bit of a handful he needs constant attention or he'll find something to do that he shouldn't do, and he's got more energy than me, might be Alton Towers and a lithium cocktail for afters
