    Playing devil's advocate, Jet2 seem to have succeeded where others haven't. We always used to go to Monarch as first port of call, but they missed so many tricks in upselling on the flight. I have taken the p1ss out of the Jess Glynne thing in the past, but they are very good at the upsell...

    Flying from Brum? Tell us where you're going

    Flew through Kalamata years ago for a holiday in Stoupa. It was very clean. Our only issue was that it was also a military airbase so if you are delayed, you get diverted to Athens. We had that after a ten hour delay at Manchester. Lovely view of the Acropolis though. :cool:

    I don't think Barry was there for much of the time - he was very much a wag artist.

    JJ, as you were at Four-Dwellings, do you have any recollection of my bro-in-law, Barry Farrell - a real cheeky B? I picked this up off Faceache. I thought a few of you may appreciate, in particular, @BrumX https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BnZjsQYCb/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    Flying from Brum? Tell us where you're going

    I used to do work for Noble Caledonia. They used to offer places when repositioning boats to in-house staff for next to nothing and then contractors for a very good price. Rather stupidly, I didn't take them up on any of the offers.

    Sounds like positioning the boat in the Caribbean for the winter. Nice spot.

    I remember the first time I saw a Caravell - it seemed like a Viscount with jet engines :)

    YouTube Review Are Ryanair REALLY that bad in 2025? | Flight Review | East Midlands–Berlin Brandenburg | 737 MAX 8

    Totally agree Ray. We have found that if you play by the rules, Ryanair do exactly what it says on the tin. I do appreciate being called to the gate early so that, when the incoming has unboarded it's pax (including special needs at times), the aircraft is ready to go. We have never boarded a...

    We popped into Birmingham yesterday to pay our respects in Broad Street and to visit the exhibition @ the museum and art gallery. We both expressed our disappointment at the state of 5 Ways to Millennium Square having both worked @ 5 Ways. The office blocks on the walk up from 5 Ways station are...

    Dangerous - I went to a CAMRA beer festival at Bingley Hall when I worked @ Five Ways. There was no way I could make it back into work in the afternoon. 🍺 🍺🍺 Excellent piece of AI. (y)
