BBC sounds like a great location. For a local repo I would suggest installing apt-cacher on something and pointing to it as a proxy server in synaptic. Works a treat. Caches stuff and collects new packages on demand. You can then remove the proxy settings to be pointing back at the main repos.

Okay, I've spoken to someone at BBC Manchester and it's possible that we will be able to use the BBC bar inside the BBC building on Oxford Road. What do people think of this idea?
The advantages are: it will be quiet, it's likely that we will have the bar to ourselves. It has free wifi and projectors should we chose to use them. It's in a central location and very easy to get to. It also has the usual advantages of a pub.
oooooh. Very nice.
Whenever I've been to Manchester Werewolf Chapter[1] in the BBC bar it's been very pleasant and seemed reasonably priced. I'm very happy with the BBC.
Maybe we could setup a local repository or something for extra quick jaunty updates....
