    The view or two from my "office"

    We have an hour before check in so checking out the cool kids at the Manchester runway viewing platform. Lots of geeks here and families having picnics. Lots of tables/benches, viewing platforms etc. It's not my thing but I can appreciate it's their thing. We'll be back tomorrow for the concorde...

    Some of these castles are so hard to find. GPS was no help with finding this one and took us to two incorrect places, no signs pointing it out until you were in this spot and then you finally get a clue 🤣

    What cheeses me off

    The other day we parked in the furthest corner away from the shops and when we returned a stupid camper was parked so close to us I couldn't get into the car. Fortunately it was Glencoe Co-op and not Westfield Parramatta so the wait was not long but there was about 18 other spots they could have...

    Its not every day that you drive into the Scottish countryside and climb over a electrified fence to trespass onto someone's land but today was the day for this fat, middle-aged woman 😂. If they put this in the Historical Scotland guide book they could at least install a gate <redacted>

    Singapore transit

    Worse case scenario, last week when we landed there was 3 flights/pax that were affected and on the plane an announcement was made for those people and outside the gate was staff, golf carts and a board to redirect affected pax. I didnt see the outcome but it was not a sort yourself out...

    Liverpool Crowne City, great location, great staff but shower of death in a very dated bathroom plus the tub plug is where toes are so constantly closing the tub plug thing and the shower screen thingy didn't have a silicon strip to hold it in place so bathroom flooded every time. Pity the...

    Paris boutique tours

    Behind Notre Dame, in the far corner, is a concrete entrance to a small memorial to honor the (mainly Jewish) people deported during the Holocaust When we visited it wasn't signed but I found it very moving. I would visit again, only takes 20mins of your time but worth it...

    What cheeses me off
