Well I survived. Just. The hotel didn't want to give me a key that worked for the room but eventually got it sorted with a free upgrade (paid for a single room, got a double with a decent view of the city - not that I saw much of it at night in the darkness).
Too many bars is very true, I ended up having a bacardi and coke in one before returning to bed. Turns out conferencing is a tiring business! The Manchester Central was nice, the architecture in the exhibition space (the bit that I'm presuming was the station) was very nice, and much more enjoyable to look at than people trying to sell me medical equipment that I'm not capable of purchasing!
The car, though parked a million miles (about 5 mins) from the hotel also survived, though I did go and check on it at night and in the morning, just in case.
Now going off to a much safer and saner place - Snetterton for Bemsee's last meeting of the year!
