Separate title deeds I believe. I dont think any of the residents actually have titles though

Following day was the start of my return trip. LCY is a pretty easy airport to depart from so I hadnt planned on getting there too early. I was just on a zoom to attend a rather testy Medical Staff Council meeting, when I received a call from Cathay to say my HKG-SYD flight had been cancelled...

I prefer to use a QF earning card there for the bonus point for QF spend

After catching up on our families' lives and assorted ailments, take the train back to London Bridge. There is a bit of a wait for the next bus to mumandye's so I stop off for a Guinness at one of my favourite pubs, The George in Southwark. It's a old coaching inn originally built in the 1600s...

And so to set off for Sussex. Longish drive (by UK standards) and around the M25 with a few go-slows Drop into Crawley to return suit and pick up some wine and flowers (no proper florists open on Sunday so not the best) The Green Motion LGW drop-off looks like a farm but reasonably efficient...

Yes, I usually pay asap before bill due. The couple of months delay I mention is that is the point at which lost interest on cash in my offset account makes the accrued Amex points borderline worth it

I'm with @Chicken. These particular cards are very useful online where surcharges for Amex apply especially if you have an Edge so I try to buy as mamy as I can use in the next 2 months. The bonus VA points are good and a decent quantity but still cost 1c each as in lieu of FB discount. Wouldnt...

But unlike last time didnt make it to breakfast (forgot 🤔 to charge phone) so only got to say goodbyes online. Reception accommodating about late checkout. It wss a definite success with plans for another one...and possibly an antipodean one in the interim for those of us in the southern hemisphere

I get a bit of kudos for making the trip from down-under (three of us did) but the real plaudits should go to the organiser who is based in NZ. Food was decent enough.. ..and you can usually fill a dance-floor in these sort of events (seems to be easier when youngsters arent around; school...

It wasnt just the rugby boys of course. The girls (I say girls as many of them barely seemed to have aged a bit) were all on good form too. I had sustained a bit of good-natured teasing from the fabulous mrsandye (who had been invited and declined) that I was only attending to see my...

The most common question I was asked was "Have you come for the day again?" as on our last reunion, I did just that (TR below) https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/last-minute-points-trip-to-london.95203/ Second-time round, the pre-reunion nerves were much less. Our...

Went for quick G&T at the nar and good to catch a few familiar faces. Most were already dressed for dinner and some had been staying from the previous night. So back to the room. Had a good iron and board for the shirt Somewhere in my youth, I've managed to be indoctrinated to consider...

The generally accepted definition is a 10% drop from peak. The tariff announcement drop in April reached that.

A smidge irritated as I thought I had beaten the system My memership year ended 31 Oct I already had 100SCs rolling over with PC+ So held off registering until 31 Oct But on 2 Nov credited 20+10 SCs from transactions made on 3 & 10 Oct (which were then wiped as in previous status year)...

Really? There may be one coming but who knows?

After a satnav stuff-up sends me to a dead end (made the mistake of entering the postcode rather than the address) I finally make it to the hotel The Voco Oxford Thames is a good venue (not sure why Oxford as the Med School is in Paddington-presumably better value) Part of IHG and received...

I'm not sure why you would want to (unless wanting to use the paid extra points option I suppose)

All my own fault of course. So now have a major logistical dilemma. I need to get to the reunion (and I'd planned to be there by this time) Most of the central London hire places are either closed or scary expensive (and Id still need to drop off prior to my departure on the Monday)...

My experience of Orthopaedic Surgeons is that they really enjoy operating. If an experienced one says no, there is good evidence for non-surgical management strategies being helpful (and can conserve the cartilage for another day)

So woke up a little later than anticipated. I'd booked my hire car for the trip to Oxford for the reunion via a consolidator 9 months previously and was pretty happy with $220 for a Merc for 2 day. Tried to ring the Enterprise office in Paddington to say I was running late but no answer. Had...
