No-life tip:

Your flight has a bus transfer to the plane for boarding: bathe in the knowledge that the last person on the first bus will be first up the plane steps.


So if getting on the plane first is important to you, position yourself about a bus-worth of people back from the front of the boarding queue/scrum.

If you're ever caught in heavy rain without an umbrella just walk into any pub and confidently say you left your umbrella there a while back. When they ask what it looks like just say "black" and take your pick from whatever they drag out. Not theft, more creative recycling...


Umbrellas are left behind as often as phone chargers in hotels - every front desk has a box of Blackberry, iphone and Nokia chargers to hand looking for a new home if you get stuck.

I went to Spec-savers because they had a very attractive promotion 2 for 1 on everything I think. Anyway had the eye test picked the glasses then came the bill they billed me for two sets of glasses. Apparently the promotion was only in "SELECTED STORES". Half hour wasted went back to my original Optician.

Generally on Virgin Trains the unreserved carriage is E. Sit here even if you have a reservation. Most folks now book on line and automatically get a reservation. People being people will insist on sitting in their reserved seat even if the rest of the carriage is empty, and usually for me it's a portly businessman who insists on cramming his carcass next to me.



Not for me, I'm in E stretching out and laughing at them!

    • It is being advertised on a banner outside Dulwich Park.
    • From the Dulwich Festival website:   Teddy bears picnic with funfair at Dulwich park on 11th May. Giant Teddy Bears’ Picnic - Dulwich Festival   Goose Green fair is on 18th May. Goose Green Fair - Dulwich Festival   But no sign of the usual Dulwich Park Fair this year!        
    • And so an update, a message saying I had a telephone appt which they then changed to a double to deal with two issues at once. From originally booking to the appt has been four weeks, so disappointed, but appt booked in. 
    • Yes, it wasn't exactly Lewes, he lived in a tiny place near Ditchling Beacon while he was running Hoopers  (maybe  he moved to Lewes after Hoopers closed?) Near enough Lewes, though! I can't remember what the place was called, or even if it had a name, there were only a few houses. Which was very weird, because I lived in Ditchling for a time many many moons ago, and I drove up the  tiny road which passed near  those houses every day on my way to work in  Stanmer Park (at that time the local college horticulture department was based there). It was a short cut to the park, and there was a locked gate halfway down the road, which I had a key to. No idea if things have changed now, it was a very long time ago. Very small world indeed. We only found out because  at Jamie's request we put on music in Hoopers for a time (including Wizz Jones), so we got to know him. ETA: Very sorry Lulark (and Admin), this has no relevance at all to your post.
