Just received this... "Your order is available in our department" - strange choice of words" "Shipping fee"- more likely in the UK to say postage fee or Postage and Packing or under paid postage. "1.99 GBP" - £1.99 would be more usual or maybe GBP1.99 1685945931 Hi sweetie!

Lots of these and it's interesting how they just adapt them for each country. In the UK I have received a text message that looks the same as the Australia Post text only starts with Royal Mail. I had a call a few days ago were a pre recorded American voice said something like "This is the...

Rheims is a city, Epernay is more of a large town. As Princess Fiona said the BW in Rheims is actually pretty good. With regards to prices you might find its cheaper in the supermarket at home than here in France. Many of the big producers have welcome centres and offer tastings, tours etc...

Some cities need more than one trip. Paris - The first time I went to Paris was in 1992, at the time I was living in Ireland. We went in November and it felt colder in Paris than at home. The hotel was overbooked. We got pick pocketed on the metro. People were rude and lots of beggars. It also...

That's what BA used to do (might still). Always so unfair

Thanks for posting this trip report, Noumea is somewhere I would really like to go. I live near Dijon in France (part of the year) and I kind of interested to see how French places like Noumea and Reunion etc are. The little town that I live in, in Burgundy has two pizza machines and a bread...

A few years ago I was travelling with a low cost carrier and had pre paid to check a bag in. I got to the the airport and the agent at the desk said that she had no record of it. I explained that the money had gone through my account. She promptly referred me to another agent who who listened...

I grew up in Belfast in the 1970's and 80's. The police were armed and it wasn't unusual to see the army with automatic weapons on the streets. Or hanging out of the back of a Land Rover. I guess because grew up in that sort of environment it didn't bother me. However I remember being in London...

At my biggest I was 139 kgs I lost 70kgs via a very low calorie diet. Then I put most of it back on. I then lost most of it again with WeightWatchers, who I worked for for a while. Then it went on again. Tried SlimmingWorld, WeightWatchers, Noom, LighterLife and a few others. My weight has gone...

Thin people who have never gained a pound in their lives commenting on bigger people weight. They have no idea how difficult it is to loss weight (never mind keep if of) so what gives them the right to comment!

Another one worth a visit is Cite de Train, Mulhouse. I think its France's largest Railway museum. From memory there are two or three buildings and then a few trains parked outside. Large site, most of the descriptions are in French. We visited on a weekday in August and it really wasn't busy...

I haven't been to RAF Cosford yet but I did visit RAF Museum London ( at Hendon). Its easy to get to from central London by tube or bus. There are a number of hangers and I could of spent a full day there.

Great museum. They from time to time do virtual tours for those of us who can't get to New York as often as we would like. London Transport Museum in Covent Garden is also worth a visit...but London Transport Museum have a storage place near Acton. Its open for guided tours a few days per...

A few years ago we visited Seattle mainly because I wanted to visit Boeing's factory. We booked a tour from Seattle and I was a little disappointed. We then decided to go and visit the Museum of Flight south of Seattle. There is a regular bus that goes from downtown Seattle and has a stop just...

As far as I know few if any London Underground stations have ticket offices anymore. To link your Oyster card you might be better to go to a larger main rail station.

When you go to the store and can't find a thing to buy you have to go to the customer service desk and they let you out. At my local Intermarche and Auchan they usually just say something like "couldn't find what your looking for?" and then let you out. However at Carrefour in Dijon they get the...

A few weeks ago I had to queue to check in at bag, the lady in front of me in the queue was on the phone. When she got to top of the queue she continued talking while the check in agent dealt with the bag. Then later after security we went to get a coffee, and guess who was in front of us in the...

We have that random check thing were you have to have five items scanned. Pepsi max was on offer and all flavours were the same price. I picked up a regular and a cherry and rather than scanning one of each I scanned the regular twice. Of course this happened the time I was randomly chosen to...

In the UK larger supermarkets offer three ways to pay. Scan as you shop - You scan the bar codes as you put things in the trolley and then pay at a machine. Self Service - similar but you scan each item yourself at a self service cash register. Or old fashioned - Queue for a check out assistant...

Kind of depends what you mean by mistakes. (Maybe I am strange but I never care about the money its more about the waste of time/leave) San Diego - We booked a package from the UK with flight to SAN and 7 nights at the Hotel Del Coronado. When we got to the hotel the first room we were...
