Lol. Tell that to the French and Italians.

Chugging milky, sweetened gallons of the stuff is the Americanism.

I realised after I’d posted that perhaps it read a little wrong. I considered editing but thought no one would pick me up on it. I was wrong 😂

The DVDs were in a recent box set but showing the original episodes from the late sixties and early seventies.

Hope that clears this up. 😂

We went to Italy a few yrs ago ... Early flight out of Stanstead. In the queue (only one desk open for a full flight) folk were complaining about the lack of staff and someone shouting at the desk about having to pay for their luggage ... (I had prepaid for our 2 hold luggage bags as I had read the small print) The chap behind us said whats up, and I said to him folk hadn't pre-paid for their baggage ... he looked at me and said what do you mean pre-paid for bags ... I said I had paid up front and our 2 bags cost £7.00 each each way but if he hadn't then his hold luggage was £21.00 For each bag (each way)... he looked at his 4 cases for his party and went quite white ... £84 quid for the flight out and £84 for tge return flight....

Like you say read the terms and conditions

Another thing was the stink of hot dogs being warmed up for passengers to purchase ... OK but not at 7am 🤣🤣🤣.

Yup Ryan air not my go to for flights unless absolutely nescessary

Never had a problem with either Ryan Air or Easy Jet. I would avoid Wizz Air like the plague. I was sat on a plane in Turkey just before midnight on a flight that was already delayed by 3 hours. We were then herded off the plane and told the flight had been cancelled and taken back to the terminal. No communication from Wizz other than a text to inform us that the flight had been cancelled and we could either claim a refund or rebook. Problem was, the next Wizz flight out of Antalya was in 2 days time and it was fully booked. There were no direct flights available to the UK and it is now after 1am and most parts of the airport were closed. I had to book flights to Istanbul then Istanbul to Stansted, despite flying out of Luton. When we arrived at Stansted i had to arrange to get to Luton as the car was parked there.

Last week i received a CCJ in my favour and am in the process of instructing bailiffs to raise the case to a high court writ and then enforce the debt. I am due just under £3k, or if they seize assets an Airbus A320 :lol:

Also worth saying with Wizz Air, if you do use them, and aren't under 5ft8, pay whatever they ask for extra legroom

Only choice we have back to Manchester from where I am is Lufthansa. They are generally great, but not bloody cheap.
