We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Immediate assistance needed The newly minted high-school graduate daughter of a co-worker is on walkabout in Europe and due to a train strike in Italy is about to end up at Gatwick in the wee hours. Her father is trying to find some place for her to stay.
Any suggestions on places she could find a room at perhaps 3am in London are welcome. Any of our Samizdata staff awake over there still?

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Pretty much any hotel should be able to provide her with a room, even at this time.
If she gets the Gatwick Express to Victoria Station she’ll find the lastminute.com booking office (actually just outside the station, next to the taxi rank). However I’m not sure what time this opens.
drop me a mail at james (dot) marwood (at) gmail (dot) com if you need more info
Thanks for the advice. She is safely ensconced in a hotel near Gatwick. Should be much easier for her to find somethng in the city in the morning.
Glad to help Dale.
If you guys are ever back in the area, the Ramada Gatwick Airport Hotel is a decent option for a short stay, its only around 5 minutes drive from the airport.
