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!

    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.    
    • Real Life was released in 1978. Yes it is a classic album.
    • Another recommendation for Nick. Copying below the review I have just left for him on Google: We don’t usually leave reviews for people online but are making an exception for Nick. He made fitted wardrobes for our loft conversion and did an absolutely fantastic job. The wardrobes are beautiful. Nick is passionate about producing a quality product, and also one that is bespoke to his clients’ needs. He guided us through the design to establish how we would actually use the space and built something that is fantastic. From start to finish the process was quick and each day he and his assistant Sean left the space tidy. I’m not sure we are easy people to please so the fact we are leaving a 5* review (indeed leaving a review at all) speaks volumes about what a great job Nick (and Sean) did. Nick also built a cupboard for our downstairs bathroom as part of the job and again it is brilliant. We would recommend them to anybody. 
    • Just had a flatpack IKEA wardrobe put together by the dynamic Father & Son team (Victor & Carl) and over the years they have come to the rescue with their quality workmanship and all round great people to work with. https://www.handymaneastdulwich.co.uk Thank you once again.
