Conference centres too.

Many a happy week have I spent at the Wokefield Park Executive Centre in the countryside near Reading. A place so bland and boring that one of its chefs once left work, drove his car onto a level crossing and stopped. The resulting collision with a high speed train killed not just him but several people on the train as well.
