forum 31 January 2008
darlins, i will have to get up to speed on the posting of comments etc and possibly even a forum which a few of you have asked about – all in this week, how weird is that, everyone having the same idea at the same time? – anyhow here’s a post about airlines (you know me on those) and bukes (again, you know me…) and very heartening
Message: Well, don’t know if I am doing the right thing – not really used this posting lark, but I borrowed Something for the Weekend and Right on Time from the library. I wanted something to read on the plane when I flew to Manchester on Monday. Ha! What was I thinking? The husband had already told me that Countryfile and John Craven had told him that there would be fog on Monday, but I knew better. I checked a pack of websites on Sunday and no mention of fog. I got up on Monday Morning and it was fairly thick. Checked the airline website – nothing. Checked the airport website – London City in case you are interested – nada. So off I trot. LBC are telling me to ring my airline (VLM)so I do and get a recorded message telling me that the phone lines don’t open until 8.00am and to look at the website. Excellent; I’m in the car on my own, it’s 6.50 when I ring and my flight leaves at 8.15. Anyway to cut a long story short: announcements every hour telling me there will be another announcment in an hour, so I get someone else to do my visit, change my flight to April (another long story)and naff off. Oh yes and get charged £12.00 for sitting in the airport doing **** all for three hours. Anyway, I collected said books from the library on Friday finished Something for the Weekend over the weekend (geddit) and finished Right on Time on Monday night; I’m a quick reader. I think I’m reading them out of sequence, but even so they’re brilliant and Right on Time made me cry.
Thanks
Ann
