The baldie is fled, long live the baldie!
The business (basically a CRM database) passed into better hands in 2012. These materials remain here for cannibalisation and amusement.
The baldie meanwhile has found pastures new: as a singing organ-grinder for your event in the UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands or Spain!

Travelling to Bournemouth Airport from Southampton? Go via Christchurch and walk if you can
Chart compares prices for shuttle vs taxi vs taxi to airport gate vs walking for a journey from Eastleigh to Bournemouth Airport.
St Catherine's Hill, Christchurch, on the walking route. CC Mike Smith. More.
A sizeable proportion of Bournemouth airport's traffic comes from the Southampton conurbation, and a sizeable proportion of them make the costly mistake of travelling to Bournemouth by train and taking the shuttle or a taxi. In fact, Christchurch is always quicker (the Bournemouth shuttle leaves on the hour, which is when 1/3 fast trains arrive - duh) and almost always cheaper. The ice cream and scenery is also far superior. Here's the chart (BM = Bournemouth, CC = Christchurch, "CC taxi Hurn": ask for village stores buy a sarnie and walk the last couple of hundred metres):
So, unless you're single and non-ambulant, give Bournemouth a miss and travel via Christchurch.
If you fancy a walk, check out the page on walking to Bournemouth Airport from Christchurch for details on how to save most while enjoying a brief tour of Christchurch's northern fringe.
