youth hostels

The url is
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=uk.rec.youth-hostel. Or you can go
to Google Groups and type in uk.rec.youth-hostel. HOpe this is
helpful.

Or you could just use a proper news reader, which is generally reckoned
to be much the best way of accessing Usenet news groups. The Google
Groups interface is a Work of Stan and thus not recommended.

You can get access to a proper news feed through http://www.individual.net/

Never mind Stan. If you must buy membership get it from ScottishYHA,
it is cheaper than the English. £6 vs £14

Don't see much mention of the uk.rec.youth-hostel group here, but it's
useful for discussion of UK hostels and places to stay, and you can
also share any thoughts and experiences of uk hostels with others in
the group. I've had some useful advice from other members. The url is
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=uk.rec.youth-hostel. Or you can go
to Google Groups and type in uk.rec.youth-hostel. HOpe this is
helpful.

Helpful? Telling seasoned Usenet users to go through Google?
I'm not against the idea of giving ury-h a swift kick up the
backside - goodness knows it could do with one - but the people
who need to be drawing attention to it are the YHA and other
interested organisations, through their various periodicals.

Don't you have to be a resident of Scotland at the time of
joining though?

No. Residents of any EC country can join.

They've asked me once to join and I'm a foreigner so I don't think that's a
problem.

Someone please explain to me why the merry heck I'm paying the
YHA instead then? Anyone got any spare brain cells they could
let me have cheap?
