The planned junction 6 was simply never built. There was originally going to be a 'motorway spur' (a mini-motorway) coming off the M27 at junction 6 and going into the centre of Southampton. This spur would have been called the M273. They just never got round to building this spur so junction 6 wasn't built.
Yes, met Jermaine Jackson at the airport who accidently went off with one of our bags with our passports and my purse in it, got it back though thanks to him calling my mum who was my NOK in my passport. Had a nice meal in a place called The Lounge.
Went to it in Southampton old Meridian Studios a few weeks after 9/11, needless to say that was the whole topic for the show, was very interesting. When they called me (after i had applied) they asked if I was bringing anyone else so I took a friend. Definitely worth going.
My parents divorce cost them £60 and they split those costs, no contesting anything, house was sold and equity divided evenly, done and dusted really quickly.
Can't see it happening personally, it would only be the visiting ships anyway, not the ones whose home port is here and a lot of the American passengers want to visit Southampton for the 'Titanic Experience'.
Check online if places of interest for kids are still open (Flamingo World, Robin Hill, Rookley Country Park, Sandown Zoo, Alum Bay, Donkey Sanctuary etc)
Plenty to do and see on the IOW without getting bored imho!
