Hursley Park was OK for a few years but walking around the village gets old.

The bakery was great.

This is a nice write up:) I particularly enjoy reminding my American colleagues and customers that many pubs, like the one you describe, are twice as old as America, (just to get some perspective going!). Finally, given your refreshing write up on the drinking trends and behaviour’s of the IBM Hursley population, I feel MUCH less guilty now for sneaking in lto the Dolphin ast Friday to the lunchtime for a ‘quicky’. But having seen the place, I’m booking a meal with famly over the Christmas break. Hursley sounds like my kind of location – completely dry at Bedfont and an awkward drive on a Friday for a pie and pint! Happy Christmas.

“In 1973, IBM introduced the 3340 ‘Winchester’ disk system (the 30MB + 30 millisecond access time led the project to be named after the Winchester 30-30 rifle)”

which I could also believe. Not sure about Dolphin, though it’s toothier cousin the Shark was certainly another famous storage product.
